Bangladesh has arrested a factory owner for suspected link to a militant group, an official said on Sunday.
Imran Ahmed, managing director of Jim Tex, was arrested along with his driver by anti-crime elite force Rapid Action Battalion for their alleged involvement with the "Neo JMB", Xinhua quoted Mufti Mahmud Khan, director of the force's legal and media wing, as saying.
During primary investigation, he said that 37-year-old Ahmed admitted to his involvement with the militant outfit.
The Neo-JMB is an offshoot of the banned militant outfit Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh and was blamed for the deadly attack in July last year at a Spanish cafe in Dhaka, which killed 22 people.
