Police detained several Awami League leaders during a virtual meeting with Nafisa Kamal at the Oasis Hotel in Cumilla’s Tomchom Bridge area on Sunday evening, March 15, 2026. The leaders were reportedly released about an hour later, prompting allegations that Cumilla Kotwali Model Police had freed them shortly after detention. The meeting was part of an iftar event attended by former and current leaders of Nangalkot Upazila Awami League, including former chairman Nazmul Hasan Bhuiyan Bashir and others, some of whom have pending cases.
Police officials said the operation was conducted based on information about possible subversive activities. Officer-in-Charge Touhidul Anwar stated that the individuals were questioned at the scene and released after consulting senior officers. Additional Superintendent of Police Saiful Malek confirmed that several people were questioned but no significant information was found. Local MP Mobasher Alam Bhuiyan said he was unaware of any intervention to secure the leaders’ release.
The incident has drawn attention to the handling of political figures by local law enforcement and the transparency of police actions in Cumilla.
