Explosive Materials Seized from Fish Project Linked to Jamaat Leader in Cumilla

Law-enforcement agencies in Cumilla have reportedly recovered materials used for making crude explosive devices, locally known as “cocktails,” from a fish farming project allegedly linked to a local Jamaat-e-Islami leader.

According to police sources, a joint team conducted a drive at the fish project following intelligence information. During the operation, officers seized various items suspected to be used in the preparation of improvised explosive devices. Authorities said the recovery was made as part of ongoing efforts to maintain law and order in the district.

The fish project is said to be owned or operated by a local Jamaat leader. However, law enforcement officials stated that investigations are underway to verify ownership details and determine whether the seized materials were directly connected to any planned criminal activity.

Police officials confirmed that a case has been filed under relevant laws, and further legal action will depend on the outcome of the investigation. No immediate details were provided about arrests at the time of the operation, though authorities indicated that individuals linked to the premises are being questioned.

The incident has drawn attention amid heightened security measures in different parts of the country. Law-enforcement agencies reiterated their commitment to preventing violence and ensuring public safety.

Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
