Police in Sreepur, Gazipur, arrested Lokman Hossain, 55, after identifying him as a participant in disruptive activities linked to the banned Awami League. The arrest followed evidence of his involvement in League programs and his name appearing on party rosters. However, local BNP leaders—the convener and member secretary—asserted that Hossain is actually a BNP worker. They subsequently claimed responsibility for securing his release from police custody. The incident highlights potential political tensions and conflicting claims of party affiliation within Sreepur municipality’s Ward No. 5. Authorities initiated the special operation to prevent unrest caused by the Awami League’s activities. The situation raises questions about accurate identification of political affiliations and potential interference in law enforcement procedures.
