'Most wanted outlawed' Nurul Islam Dulal, belonging to Purba Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Jana Juddho), was arrested by Joint Forces on Wednesday morning from a hair cutting saloon at Labouchora under Khulna thana.

Police said Dulal is one of the leaders of PBCP in South-Western region of the country and possesses a good number of illegal firearms. He faces three murder cases.

He is being interrogated at the Joint Forces' camp.

Police officials said they hope to get vital clues to the murder of journalist Manik Shah and distribution of PBCP posters and leaflets from Dulal. He evaded arrest earlier.

Meanwhile, the M-L (Marxist-Leninist) faction of PBCP, a rival of PBCP (Jana Juddho), has posted numerous posters in the Khulna industrial belt, giving 'death threats' to 'police informers and brokers'.

This has created a panic among the city dwellers. It is now apparent that the entire Khulna city is in the grip of two rival factions PBCP, some ward commissioners of Khulna City Corporation told this correspondent.
