Dhaka, Mar 1: Five of Pakistan based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militants, including the Pakistani coordinator in Bangladesh, who also works as a recruiter for operations in India, has been arrested on Sunday, Feb 28, officials said.

They have been arrested during the special anti-militancy drive near the Dhaka College.
Rezwan, who is believed to be fluent in Hindi, Urdu, Bangla and English confessed to working as JeM's regional coordinator, including working as a recruiting agent for conducting operations in India, officials said.
Officials added that the Pakistani coordinator is also well trained in using handguns, sniper rifles, automatic weapons, light machine guns, heavy machineguns, RPGs and executing operations using explosives.
