A Dhaka court has ordered the release of Tahmina Akter, a mother of three, who was detained at the National Memorial in Savar while paying tribute on behalf of the banned Awami League. The order was issued on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, by Senior Judicial Magistrate Afroza Sultana Sweety after accepting a report submitted by the Detective Branch (DB) police.

According to the DB report filed on March 31 by Sub-Inspector Abdul Muktalib of Dhaka District (South), Tahmina Akter lives in a rented house in Dhaka, her husband is an expatriate, and she has limited contact with her family. The report stated that on March 26, unidentified individuals associated with Awami League politics persuaded her to visit the National Memorial to lay a wreath and chant slogans for social media promotion. The investigation found no evidence linking her to any political activity or criminal offense.

Following the hearing, the court ordered her release under Section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as no specific charges were substantiated against her.
