In a dramatic turn of events in Rajshahi, activists of the BNP detained and handed over a local Awami League leader, Moinul Islam Swapan (55), to police from a residential hotel. Swapan, president of Tanore Upazila AL, was out on bail in a case linked to a mass uprising incident. Although Boalia police said he was not previously listed as an accused in their station, he has now been arrested as an unidentified accused in the same case and will be presented in court.
