Police have arrested Jamaat-e-Islami leader Engineer Mizanur Rahman Mizan, aged 35, in connection with a case filed over the assault and altercation involving police officers at Palashbari Police Station in Gaibandha. The arrest was confirmed on Friday afternoon by Officer-in-Charge Sarwar Alam Khan. Mizan was detained early Friday morning from his home in Gridharipur village during a joint operation by Palashbari police and the Detective Branch.

According to the report, Mizanur Rahman Mizan serves as the current secretary of the professional wing of Palashbari Upazila Jamaat and is the son of Golam Mostafa. He previously held positions as the municipal Jamaat amir and president of the upazila unit of Islami Chhatra Shibir. The case stems from a March 25 incident when several Jamaat youth leaders visited the police station to submit a complaint, leading to a confrontation and attack that injured eight police officers, including the OC.

Following the incident, a case was filed naming nine individuals and several unidentified others. The Palashbari Upazila Jamaat branch has formed an internal investigation committee to review the matter.
