Police in Netrokona’s Purbadhala have arrested three people, including the upazila unit member secretary and a former joint convener of the Chhatra Dal, in connection with an attack and vandalism on a Member of Parliament’s private car. The arrests were made in separate operations by the district detective branch and local police on Sunday night and early Monday.

The detainees are Saju Ahmed, Solaiman Kabir Pappu, and Aiyub Ali. Saju Ahmed is the third accused and serves as the upazila Chhatra Dal member secretary, while Solaiman Kabir Pappu is the tenth accused and a former joint convener. Aiyub Ali, the fortieth accused, is the ward president of the Krishak Dal in Laujana village. Police said the arrested individuals will be produced before court, and operations are continuing to detain others involved.

The case stems from an incident last Friday evening when MP Mashum Mostafa’s car was attacked and vandalized at a filling station in Atkapara area. The MP was briefly confined before being rescued by police and administration. So far, twelve people have been arrested in the case, nine of whom are currently on bail.
