The newly elected Member of Parliament from Chandpur-3, Sheikh Farid Ahmed Manik, has handed over members of his own party to the police for allegedly creating disorder after the election.
On Friday night (February 13), five Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal activists were identified and turned over to Chandpur Sadar Model Police Station.
The detained individuals are Nahidul Islam Jony (22), Mobarak Hossain Bepari (26), Jony Gazi (30), Monir, and Fahim.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Chandpur Sadar Model Police Station, Md. Fayez Ahmed, said the detainees are currently in police custody. He added that legal action will be taken after verification, and warned that no leniency will be shown to those who create panic or unrest.
It is worth noting that on Thursday, during and after voting in Ward No. 13 of the town, two groups reportedly created chaos using locally made weapons, leading to tension in the area.
