Adam Tamizi Haque arrested

He has been taken to the office of Detective Branch of police for interrogation.

Adam Tamizi Haque, managing director of Haque Group of Industries, has been taken to the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Saturday.

A team of DB raided his house in Gulshan around 7:30pm on Saturday evening.

From there he was taken to the DB office at Minto Road in the capital, an official of DB's Gulshan division told UNB.

Another DB source said that DB Chief Harun-Or-Rashid will brief the media about it.

He recently captured the public's attention following a series of perplexing live appearances on social media.

Among the latest, on November 17, Adam Tamizi claimed to be a Christian follower by cutting his beard and mustache and sought the citizenship of Israel.

He also requested the Israeli government's assistance to rescue him from Bangladesh as soon as possible.

In recent times, Adam Tamizi Haque took to Facebook to announce that a State Minister from Gazipur was attempting to seize his business, compelling him to return to Bangladesh from overseas to safeguard his enterprise.

He then conducted a series of Facebook Live sessions, during which he controversially burnt his passport and made disparaging remarks about women in leadership, the Awami League, and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In response to his actions, he was swiftly relieved of his party position, and the Dhaka City North Awami League suspended him. They also declared their intent to investigate the motives behind his perplexing Facebook Live broadcasts.

When contacted, several Awami League leaders dismissed Haque's claims that the party had extorted a staggering sum of Tk1,000 crore from him as preposterous and baseless.
