Police in Ranisankail, Thakurgaon, arrested former mayor and local Jubo League president Alamgir Sarkar on Monday evening under the Explosives Act. The arrest took place at his residence in Bhandara as part of the nationwide 'Devil Hunt-2' operation, which aims to detain individuals accused in various criminal cases.
Sarkar, a controversial figure, previously drew public attention for his aggressive behavior toward journalists. In 2018, he allegedly threatened a local reporter who exposed irregularities in municipal road construction and made a provocative remark about creating '21,000 journalists in one day' to counter criticism. Police confirmed that Sarkar has been sent to the Thakurgaon court following his arrest.
The case highlights ongoing tensions between political figures and the press in regional Bangladesh. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the specific charges, but the arrest underscores the government's broader crackdown on politically linked criminal activities under the current operation.
