Police detained Mufty Obaidullah, a senior operative in the India-based Asif Reza Commando Force. The group is a criminal-terrorist organization with close ties to Harkat-ul-Jihadi-e-Islami, the Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence agency. Obaidullah was attempting to expand the network in Bangladesh.
