Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch (DB) has filed a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act against former minister Latif Siddiqui and 14 others, who were detained from the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) premises.

DB Additional Commissioner Shafiqul Islam confirmed that the case is being processed at Shahbagh Police Station, with police as complainant. Asked whether the detainees belonged to the Awami League, he said:
"We are not looking at political affiliations. We found evidence of sabotage plans on their mobile devices, which is why legal action is being taken."

The arrests followed a chaotic incident Thursday afternoon when a group identifying themselves as “July Warriors” stormed into a DRU roundtable discussion. Around 12:15 p.m., they handed over 15 individuals, including Siddiqui, to police.
