Two leaders of the Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP), central leader Tarek Reza and youth leader Ayon Rahman Khan, were sent to jail custody following a court hearing in Jhenaidah on Sunday night. Police presented them before the court, where after hearing arguments from both sides, the judge ordered their detention. The information was confirmed by Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mahfuzur Rahman during a press briefing at 10:30 p.m.

According to ASP Rahman, Tarek Reza was detained at a restaurant in Jhenaidah where he had come to attend a press conference. Police took him into custody citing security reasons and later handed him over to the court due to an existing case against him. Another youth leader, Ayon Rahman Khan, was arrested in Jashore and also presented before the court.

ASP Rahman denied allegations circulating on social media that Ayon had been abducted, stating that he was produced in court within 24 hours and that his family was informed during the arrest process.
