On Friday at around 4:30 PM, police arrested four members of the banned extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir from Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The arrested individuals are Rafsan Ahmed Sajjad (22), Redwan Hasan (21), Habibur Rahman (24), and Abdullah (20).

Earlier that day, the group attempted to hold a protest march in Paltan, prompting police to disperse them using batons, tear gas shells, and sound grenades. Injured member Rafsan was taken to Dhaka Medical by his three associates, who were later arrested.

Shahbagh police confirmed the arrests and stated that legal action is being taken.
