A team of Cyber Security and Crime Division under the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) detained Fahim from the 7th floor of Bangladesh Development Bank Limited Bhaban of Karwan Bazar around 12:30pm and released him after several hours.

DMP sources said he was detained yesterday in connection with a case filed by Md Al Sadik, a former BCL leader of Dhaka University unit, with Kafrul Police Station on April 22 under the ICT Act.
