The relatives of top militants are under surveillance. Surveillance, particularly on the relatives of those militants who were hanged by court order, is being closely monitored round the clock. After being released on bail, the widows of top militant leaders Shaikh Abdur Rahman and Bangla Bhai have been staying in their own localities. The chief of the Media Wing of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Commander M Sohail said that the activities of the relatives of the militants were under surveillance round the clock.

Sources say, among the 34 convicted militants six were executed. Nabil Rahman, son of Shaikh Abdur Rahman, is now in Comilla Prison. After being released on bail, Bangla Bhai's widow Fahima Khatun is now residing at Naodapara in Rajshahi. Earlier maternal grandmother of Saad, the three-year old son of Bangla Bhai, was given legal custody of the child by court order.

Shaikh Abdur Rahman is survived by his sons -- Mahmud Rahman, 16, and Fuad Rahman, 12, are attending Akua Dakhil Madrassah in Mymensingh. His youngest son Ahmed Rahman, 5, lives in Rajshahi with his mother. At Kushal Centre in Uttara model town (about 9 km from downtown Dhaka city) there are two purchased shops owned by the late Shaikh Abdur Rahman from which his family gets Taka 5500 per month as rent. In addition, the deceased has some cultivable land at a village in Jamalpur District.
