On contact, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Kotwali police station Rabiul Haque said no new information could be extracted from Hafez Saidur Rahman.

Asked whether they are members of suicide squad, the OC said it is yet to be confirmed.

About reports on female JMB activists numbering more than 40 in greater Mymensingh, he said, "We have no such information about female JMB activists".
