Nurul Haque Nur, former vice president of Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) have been released from police custody, a little over an hour after he was detained for vandalism.
Nur was detained at around 8:30pm on Monday, SM Shamim, assistant commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s (DMP) Ramna zone, told the media.
Six other people have been detained along with Nur, for attacking police and vandalizing a police vehicle near Matsya Bhaban in Dhaka, the ACP said.
Several policemen were injured in the scuffle, he added.
After about an hour of questioning, Nur and the six others were released from the police custody after they signed a bond, Mahbub Alam, joint commissioner of the Detective Branch of DMP, told the media.
“We took them into custody for disrupting law and order. But later we released them after questioning,” he added.
Earlier on Sunday night, a student of Dhaka University filed a rape case with Lalbagh police station, accusing Nur and five others.
According to the case details, Nur and four others aided Hasan Al Mamun, convener of Bangladesh Students’ Rights Council, in the rape, Lalbagh police station OC KM Ashraf Uddin said.
Speaking to the media, Ramna police station OC Monirul Islam said Nur and his associates brought out a procession on Monday evening under the banner of his organization, Bangladesh Students’ Rights Council.
They brought out the procession in protest of the “false” cases filed against them, Boni Adam, an eyewitness, told the media.
Ramna OC Monirul said that, marching on the road, Nur and his followers disrupted traffic near Matsya Bhaban intersection, which prompted the police to stop them.
But Nur and his associates retaliated by attacking the policemen, the OC said, adding that they had also vandalized a police vehicle.
When asked if the detention was linked to the rape case filed against Nur, Monirul said: “We apprehended him for disrupting traffic, obstructing police and attacking on-duty policemen.”
