Police in Barishal have arrested Masum, the joint convener of the 10th Ward unit of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), who previously bit a police officer and escaped custody. The arrest took place on Sunday night at Masum’s residence in the Bhatar Khal area. According to Kotwali Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Mizanur Rahman, Masum was wanted in multiple cases and had fled after injuring an officer during an earlier arrest attempt. Following his capture, Masum was presented before a court on Monday, which ordered his imprisonment. The incident had earlier led to a case being filed by ATSI Mahbub from Naniburi outpost. Barishal City JCD President Rezaul Karim Rony stated that the organization would not take responsibility for Masum’s personal actions and that he would be expelled from the party soon. The case highlights ongoing tensions between law enforcement and opposition-linked student groups in the region.
