Bangladesh-origin US citizen on two-day remand on suspicious activity

Bangla Press Desk: A Dhaka court on Monday placed Enayet Karim Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi-origin United States (US) citizen, on a two-day remand on Monday over alleged suspicious movements in the ministerial zone near Minto Road in the capital. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Atikur Rahman passed the order after police produced the accused before the court, seeking a 10-day remand. Earlier, on 13 September, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dilruba Afroz Tithi ordered him to be sent to jail following his arrest in a car near Minto Road. According to the case documents, Enayet Karim Chowdhury is accused of engaging in attempts to overthrow the interim government of Bangladesh by acting as an agent of a foreign intelligence agency, aiming to undermine public safety and national sovereignty.

Two iPhones were reportedly seized from him, in which several pieces of information about conspiracies against the Bangladesh government were found. During interrogation, Enayet Karim reportedly admitted that he is a Bangladeshi-origin US citizen who arrived in Dhaka from New York on 6 September. He allegedly informed authorities that he is a contractual agent of a foreign intelligence agency and claimed that the interim government of Bangladesh is in a ‘fragile’ state and has distanced itself from the army. He also said he came here to work for the formation of a new national government or caretaker government. This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
