The ABT Information Technology wing is trying to hack into the social media accounts of the bloggers and forward their details to the ABT military wing. Ashfaq, who was closely supervised by the discharged fugitive army official ABT Military wing Head Major Syed Ziaul Haque, or Zia, was gathering the bloggers’ details on his laptop. Based on his statements, police suspect Major Zia is in Bangladesh, though CTTC has been unable to gather recent information about Major Zia. Ashfaq underwent arms training from Major Zia in 2015 at Pallabi and Uttara, when appointed as the Media wing chief. Major Zia failed to orchestrate a coup in 2011 and has been on the run, with a Tk20 lakh bounty announced to nab him.
