Two women councillors have been arrested in Rajshahi over their alleged involvement in acts of sabotage. Anwara Begum Poly and Monjila Begum, women councillors of Chapainawabganj and Shibganj municipalities, respectively, were arrested from outside the venue of a function at Rajshahi Shilpakala Auditorium, said Rajshahi police OC Mahbubur Rahman.
The function was the oath-taking ceremony of mayors and councillors elected at the recent municipal polls in Chapai Nawabganj and Shibganj, he added.
