A man in Jashore lodged a complaint saying his 24-year-old son was picked up early today by 10-12 people in plainclothes who introduced themselves as members of the Detective Branch (DB) of police.

Jihad Hossain, 24, son of Asaduzzaman, was picked up from their house in Alamnagar Madhyapara area of Jashore's Sadar upazila around 2:00am, reports our Benapole correspondent quoting Abdur Razzak, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station.
