At least five activists of the Islamist outfit Hizb-ut Tawhid, including the district Ameer were arrested by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) Monday night in front of Northern University in Rajshahi city.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-5 arrested the district Ameer Md Mizanur Rahman along with four activists as they gathered in front of the university to hold a meeting around 8:00pm, Rab officials said.
The arrestees, Md Azizul Haque, 24, Tota Sheikh, 38, Md Abdul Hasan, 25 and Md Moniruzzaman, 39, were handed over to Motihar Police Station.
All arrestees confessed to their involvement with the outfit, said Akbar Ali, officer-in-charge of the station.
Rab also recovered a Jihadi book, six notebooks containing information about the outfit and 10 mobile phone sets from their possession.
The outfit which is not banned yet was hurting religious sentiments of Muslims by propagating their ideology.
