Police in Monirampur, Jashore, arrested four young men while they were allegedly preparing for a robbery. The arrests took place on Friday night in Room 408 of Rajani Nibash Hotel, located near Hatkhola intersection. Authorities reported that the suspects were planning robberies targeting vehicles on the Jashore-Chuknagar highway. A toy pistol and a switchblade were seized from the scene.
The detainees have been identified as Alam Khan of Gangra, Tutul of Durgapur, Saiful Islam from Kadombaria, and Abu Sinha of Khedapara—all residents of Monirampur upazila.
Conflicting statements have emerged regarding their political affiliations. While the Monirampur BNP president claims the arrestees are affiliated with the Jubo Dal (BNP’s youth wing), district-level Jubo Dal leaders deny this, stating the individuals are not members of their organization. A case has been filed, and the accused were produced before the court.
