Police have detained an activist who has actively been campaigning against the construction of an establishment for the law-enforcing agency.
The activist Syeda Ratna has been mobilising public opinion against a recent attempt of constructing a police building on Tetul Tola ground, known as a neighbourhood playground, in Dhaka’s Kalabagn for a while, reports bdnews24.com
Police officers, who asked not to be named, however, had claimed that Ratna, a member of Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi, was “spreading misinformation” as the playground has already been allocated for the agency by the government.
Confirming the news, Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Senior Assistant Commissioner for the New Market zone Sharif Md Farukuzzaman said: “Dhaka’s deputy commissioner had handed over the rights for the land to police after clearing all the procedures. Syeda Ratna is accused of obstructing the government in its duties. She is in custody now.”
