Sakhawat Hossain Khan, vice president of Narayanganj metropolitan BNP, and Nazrul Islam Azad, deputy international affairs secretary, were among the detainees. They were detained around 10:15am, said Narayanganj Superintendent of Police Moinul Haque. Eyewitnesses say BNP leader Sakhawat attempted to gather party activists on the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway at Narayanganj’s Siddhirganj to greet the BNP chief on her way. Locals say Nazrul and others were arrested from the Araihazar area soon afterwards. Police official Moinul Haque said law enforcers were deployed along the route of the BNP chief’s journey for security.
