Plain-clothes police picked up BNP vice chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury from his Banani DOHS house on Thursday night. A team of Detective Brach of Dhaka Metropolitan Police picked the BNP leader from his house around 11:25pm. “DB police came to my house and they’re taking me,” Shamser Mobin told UNB over phone at 11:27pm. Earlier, hours after unlocking it, law enforcers on Thursday night again locked the main gate of BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office where Khaleda Zia has remained confined for six days with huge law enforcers deployed around it. Witnesses said police put the gate under lock and key around 10:30pm. Earlier in the morning, police unlocked the gate around 11:43am, nearly 72 hours after they locked it on Monday. The huge law enforcers, including female and plainclothes ones, are still there around the office while water cannons, police vans and trucks are kept indiscriminately on both sides of the road. – UNB, Dhaka.
