DHAKA, July 5, 2025 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today asked police to lodge a regular case against three suspected militants deported by Malaysian authorities, as they were produced on the dock, court officials said.

They said Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Israt Zenifer Zerin asked the law enforcement agency to file a regular case against the trio as police arrested them on their return home and produced before her with a remand petition.

The magistrate advised the police to seek their remand in custody after filing the case.

The three suspects were Nazrul Islam Sohag, Md Redoanul Islam and Zahid Ahmed.

Earlier on Thursday, police arrested the trio on their arrival at the Shahjalal International Airport in the capital after their landing following deportation from Malaysia saying they were linked to a militant group.

Police said their Anti-Terrorism Unit inspector M Abdul Baten interrogated the three ahead of escorting them to another CMM court on Friday saying they were arrested under section 54 of the CrPC.

Magistrate Misbah Ur Rahman ordered them to be sent to jail until the initial investigation was done in line with a police petition.

Magistrate Zerin’s order came today as police produced them before her court with the remand petition.
