Police in Bangladesh arrested Ataullah Abu Ammar Jununi, the leader of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, for murder and sabotage near Dhaka on March 18, 2025, according to district police chief Praytush Kumar Majumder.
A district court approved a 10-day remand for interrogation related to murder, sabotage, and illegal entry, reported police inspector Kaiyum Khan.
