BNP Vice-Chairperson Abdullah Al Noman was detained by police in Tongi and released after six hours on Sunday over alleged involvement in vandalism and causing chaos on the streets. Noman, also a former minister, was released from Tongi police station around 10:30pm, said his Personal Secretary Nurul Azim Hiru. BNP’s Gazipur district unit President Fazlul Haque Milon said law enforcers had detained Noman and 14 other leaders and activists around 5pm as they came out of the party’s Gazipur city polls mayoral candidate Hasan Uddin Sarkar’s Tongi residence. According to Milon, those who were confined with him included BNP’s Senior Vice-Chairperson BarkatullahBulu, Hasan, Gazipur BNP Vice-President Salah Uddin Sarkar, and Hefazat-e Islam’s Gazipur metropolitan unit Joint Secretary Nasir Uddin. The government is cheating the voters of Gazipur city as they knew BNP will win this election.
