Hunt on for financiers of 'Allahr Dal'

FM Mizanur Rahaman, ctg
Police have started their search for financiers and donors of banned militant outfit "Allahr Dal".
According to police sources, an official letter has already been sent to all units of the force to identify them, freeze and confiscate their bank accounts and properties.
The letter was issued by Md Shawkat Hossain, special superintendent (media analysis) of Police Headquarters, on December 12.
The Public Security Division, under the home ministry, banned the militant group on November 5, through issuing a gazette notification. The notification mentioned that the government thinks activities of the militant outfit named "Allahr Dal" are against peace and a threat to public security.
Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) also received a letter from the PHQ on December 14. However, they said there is no visible activity of Allahr Dal in Chattogram yet.
Mentionable, several members of the militant outfit had been arrested by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in Dhaka and other districts over the last couple of months.
According to Rab, one Abdul Matin
Mehedi alias Mehedi Hasan of JMB formed the militant group in 1995.
After arrest of several top leaders of Allahr Dal, Rab claimed that Matin, who is behind bars in connection with several militancy cases, is the key organiser of the group.
Asked, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC-Operations) Polash Kanti Nath of Counter Terrorism (CT) unit at CMP said they have received a copy of the letter regarding the group and are working to find out if the organisation is active in Chattogram.
Several CT officials of CMP told The Daily Star that due to their controversial roles and anti-state activities, Allahr Dal was blacklisted in April 2009.
But the operatives had been conducting their campaigns and recruiting members using various means. A CT official said, "Allahr Dal has been using code words and names just like JMB and other militants."
The official said the militant group used to have a strong hold in the southern districts.
Contacted, ADC (Intelligence) Md Moinul Islam said, "We are now gathering field-level information about the organisation."
