One of the men seen in a video purportedly from Islamic State (IS) hailing the Gulshan attack has been identified as Tushar Arafat, a dentist from Dhaka.
Of the three young men speaking in Bengali and English in that video to praise the Gulshan attacks and threatening more terrorism in Bangladesh, Tushar was the third. According to terrorist monitoring group SITE Intelligence the video was shot in al-Raqqah, Syria where the terrorist group is based.
Tushar, son of late Major Washikur Azad, has been missing for two years. He graduated from City Dental College. He went to school in Adamjee Cantonment Public School and Rajuk Uttara Model College. In 2011 he was married to model Naila Nayem but separated soon afterward. He lived in Baridhara DOHS area.
On his Facebook page, Tushar calls himself ‘Md Doc Arafat (Princelibra)’ and his last public post from May 19, 2012 says: “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind,” with the location, Azad’s Mansion.
Acquaintances told the Dhaka Tribune Tushar was fond of chatting with friends and playing table tennis. They also spoke of his drug habits that got worse after the separation.
Most acquaintances told the Dhaka Tribune they had not been in contact with Tushar since 2014 and that around that time he had transformed into a conservative-minded man.
