Local Correspondent | April 25, 2025

Police detained three participants following a rally held under the banner of “Sheikh Hasina Force” in Chattogram on April 24.

A 34-second video circulating on social media showed a group of 40-50 youths marching through the city’s Love Lane area and past the BNP office, chanting slogans in support of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. They carried a banner reading “Sheikh Hasina Force” and chanted, “Sheikh Hasina will come, Bangladesh will smile.”

Kotwali Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Abdul Karim confirmed the detentions, stating that the arrests were made based on video footage, with efforts ongoing to apprehend others involved.

When questioned about the grounds for detaining members of a non-banned group, the OC declined to comment.
