Former Member of Parliament and retired Lieutenant General Masud Uddin Chowdhury, described as a key figure during the One-Eleven political period, was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) in Dhaka. The arrest took place on the night of March 23, 2026, in the Baridhara DOHS area. A DB team led by Chief Shafiqul Islam conducted the operation and detained Chowdhury from a residence on Lane 2, House 153.

Masud Uddin Chowdhury, a former army officer and controversial political figure, had previously sought nomination from the Awami League for the Feni-3 constituency during the 11th National Election. Reports suggest he later obtained a nomination from the Jatiya Party after consultations with senior political figures. He subsequently became a presidium member of the Jatiya Party.

The report did not specify the charges or reasons behind the arrest, and no official statement from law enforcement or political parties was included in the source.
