Locals of Chapali village formed a human chain in Nimtola bus stand area on Dhaka-Khulna highway under Kaliganj municipality yesterday demanding immediate arrest of the accused in local BNP leader Ismail Hossain murder case.
Several hundred people joined the human chain programme that continued for an hour from 10:00am.
