Even as the NIA is on the hunt for Sahanur Alom, one of the 12 “most wanted” in the Burdwan blast case, his 70-year-old father Majibar Rahman has asked his son to surrender. Sahanur Alom, a quack doctor, carries a reward of Rs 5 lakh on his head.
Sahanur’s father Rahman made this appeal to his fugitive son through the media in Barpeta on Tuesday. “I want to appeal to my son, wherever he is hiding now, to come out and surrender to the NIA,” Rahman said.
Sahanur Alom (33) has remained untraced soon after the Burdwan blast occurred on October 2.
Hailing from Chatala village under Sarthebari police station in Barpeta, Sahanur Alom had become part of the Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) after he began visiting different madrasas in West Bengal. While the NIA has sealed several bank accounts in his name, the Assam Police, two weeks ago, arrested his wife Sajina Begum from the Inter-State Bus Terminus in Guwahati.
Meanwhile, the chief judicial magistrate of Kamrup on Tuesday extended the judicial remand of six persons arrested for their alleged link with the jihadi group involved in the Burdwan blast. They are – Shaikhul Islam alias Abdullah (20), Rafikul Islam (39), Md. Shiraj Ali Khan (53), Jahuruddin (60), Golam Usmani (23) and Sarbesh Ali (35) – all hailing from three different villages in Barpeta district. Among them, Shaikhul Islam alias Abdulla of Kahikuchi village in Barpeta is said to be an important member of the Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (Party of the Mujahideen) sleeper cell in Assam.
