Arrest



Feni, Aug 9 -Detectives in a drive arrested former Feni Zila Parishad Chairman Khairul Bashar Majumdar Tapan from his residence at Shantinagar in the capital on Friday night in a case over killing protesters near Mohipal flyover during the July movement.

Tipped off, a team of DB police conducted a drive in Shantinagar area and arrested Tapan around 10 pm, said Mohamamd Shamsuzzaman, officer-in-charge of Feni Model Police Station.

Tapan, also vice-president of Feni district unit Awami League and son of Abul Bashar of Dhanikunda village in Parshuram upazila of Feni district, went into hiding after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5, 2024.
