BNP vice-chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury who was picked up by plainclothes police from near party chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan residence on Monday evening was released at about 1 am on Tuesday.
“Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury has been released hours after his detention,” BNP chairperson’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Kahn told UNB at about 2: 30am.
He said Shamsher Mobin was taken to the DB head office at Minto Road after his detention.
A team of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police asked the BNP leader to get into their vehicle as soon as he came out of Khaleda’s residence around 7:35pm after British High Commissioner Robert Gibson’s meeting with the opposition leader.
Contacted, Shamsher Mobin told UNB on Monday evening: “Now I’m in a police vehicle. I don’t know where they are taking me to.”
Before the British High Commissioner’s arrival, Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury and Khaleda’s two advisers Riaz Rahmanand Sabihuddin Ahmed were allowed to enter Khaleda’s house.
