Police arrested Shamim Parvez, a former BNP ward commissioner of undivided Dhaka City Corporation, on Wednesday night from the capital’s Paribagh area, reports UNB.
Mirpur Police Station sub-inspector Rasheduzzaman Beg said they arrested Shamim from a house at Paribagh around 11pm.
He, however, declined to give further details.
Shamim faces at least 15 criminal cases, mostly related to street violence.
Meanwhile, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir strongly protested and condemned Shamim’s arrest.
In a statement, he alleged the government is repressing BNP leaders and activists in ‘false and peculiar’ cases as part of its move to give the ‘one-party rule’ a permanent shape.
He alleged that the government has created a terrible situation across the country by arresting their party leaders and activists.
