3 Shibir leaders arrested in Tangail
Three Shibir leaders including upazila level president were arrested on Monday night on charge of collecting illegal toll.
The arrestees were identified as Awal Hossain, president of Kalihati upazila unit of Islami Chhatra Shibir, general secretary Rafiqul Islam and upazila unit member Rezaul Karim.
Younus Ali, officer-in-charge of Kalihati police station, told this correspondent that police arrested three Shibir leaders red-handed when they were collecting toll from the traders of a local market for 'holding national conference of the organisation'.
Trader of the market Abu Mohammad Jinnah, also former president of upazila Chhatra League (BCL), filed a case against the three with the police station, the OC added.
District unit Shibir president Zahid Hasan, however, claimed that they always take money from their well-wishers.
“Though none lodged any complaint, police arrested the Shibir leaders due to instigation by local Chhatra League men,” he added.
