She is the mother of Rubaiya Binte Noor Uddin who was arrested in the capital's Arambagh on May 16, he said.

Rab also seized a large number of militant books and leaflets from her. Feroza was arrested following the information gleaned from Rubaiya.

Feroza worked in the women section of JMB. She is accused in a case filed for militancy with Narayanganj Bandar Police Station.

A Narayanganj court placed her on a four-day remand when she was produced before it with a 10-day remand prayer, said Rab.
