Ten men with links to an Islamic radical group have been arrested in western Bangladesh on suspicion of promoting militancy in the country, a policeman said Friday.
Police officer Abbdus Sattar told AFP the men were arrested late Thursday after they were found to be distributing Islamic extremist literature in the western city of Rajshahi.
“We arrested them on suspicion of encouraging militancy in the country and we are investigating their activities,” he said.
