Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) last night detained a madrasa teacher in Gaibandha for renting out his house to a suspected militant, who was arrested during Sholakia attack on the Eid day.

The detainee Anwar Hossain, 48, is the headmaster of Khalshi Dakhil Madrasa, reports our Gaibandha correspondent quoting Rab-13 Commander Kaiser Ali.

Rab detained Anwar from his Panthapara house after Shafiqul, during interrogation, admitted to police that he stayed for about four months at Anwar’s house.

Later, Rab handed Anwar over to Gobindaganj Police today.
