GAIBANDHA, Dec 26 (UNB): The eight militants, detained for storing massive explosives at Gobindaganj, have confessed to investigators that they had planned to make grenades in a bid to create anarchy and violence during the upcoming national polls.
Police said that the detained militants also confessed to the investigators about their direct involvement with the banned militant outfit Jam'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), which had intensified efforts to reorganise it in Gaibandha.
Meanwhile, the case related to grenade and explosives recovery was transferred to Detective Branch (DB) from Gobindaganj police Friday.
Later, the DB men produced the eight militants before court seeking a 10-day remand for them, but additional Chief Judicial magistrate Sharif Uddin Azad granted a five-day remand for them.
Sources at the DB said that they would be able to trace entire network and current operational activities of JMB in the district during the granted five-day remand.
During the primary police interrogation, it was known that regional commander of the militant group Rezaul Karim Rezu alias Shihab alias Hasan initially stored the seized explosives and elements used in making grenade at the residence of JMB second-in-command Amjad Hossain and later these were supplied to the places of their targets.
