Arrest



Sirajganj, Jan 2 -Detectives have arrested four people including two local BNP leaders in a case over Thursday’s clash between Awami League and BNP activists in the town. 

The arrestees are vice-president of district BNP Najmul Hasan Talukdar Rana, joint general secretary Rashedul Hasan Ranjan, activists Habibul Bashar and Rezaul Karim. 

Sub-Inspector of DB police Khokon Chandra said police arrested them from different areas of the town on Saturday in a case over damaging government property and obstructing police from performing their duties. 

On Thursday, BNP called a meeting at Islamia College ground in the town demanding its chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release and her  treatment abroad. 

A clash ensued between AL and BNP activists at one stage of  the meeting, leaving over 100 people from both sides injured. 

Over 700 BNP, Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal activists were sued the following day. - UNB
