Staff Correspondent

Actress Misti Subhash, a leader of Bangamata Sangskritik Jote, was detained by police on Saturday evening at Dhanmondi 32. She was paying homage at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s portrait when members of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and Islami Chhatra Shibir handed her over to law enforcement. Another woman accompanying her was also detained.

The incident follows her earlier attempt to celebrate Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s 78th birthday at Dhaka University’s TSC, where she claimed to have been harassed.

Explaining her actions, Misti Subhash said, “Sheikh Hasina is my leader. I went to TSC to cut a cake in her honour because she was disrespected there. I wanted to pay my respects at the very place where she was insulted.”

Dhanmondi Police Station confirmed her detention but did not disclose further details regarding the charges.
