Police released BNP’s two female ex-MPs and four activists of Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal nearly three hours after they detained them from near BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office on Thursday.
Sub-inspector Sultana Akter of the Gulshan Police Station said they released ex-MPs, (reserved seats) Sahila Akter and Nargis Ali, Mohila Dal activists Shirin Akter Rina, Jharna Khan, Nilufar Nasrin Nilu and
 Shamima Sultana Tamanna around 5:15pm from their police station.
Earlier, the Gulshan police detained the six women from near the Gulshan office of Khaleda Zia around 2pm as they had been there with cooked food for the BNP chief and her party leaders staying inside the office.
Later, police took them to the Gulsahn Police Station.
Food and fresh water supply to Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office for her party leaders, office staff and security personnel remained disrupted since February 11 due to reported obstruction by law enforcers.
The law enforcers on February 11 suddenly stopped the supply of food and fresh water to Khaleda’s Gulshan office by turning away a van carrying cooked food and bottled water in the evening.
