The Feni-2 lawmaker’s followers put up barricades for two hours on Dhaka-Chittagong and Feni-Noakhali highways and Feni-Sonagazi road protesting against the arrest on Saturday night.
RAB-7 Feni Camp Director Major Mohammad Mozammel Hossain said the recovered weapons included 16 firearms and 18 sharp weapons.
RAB and witnesses said, Hazari’s supporters were returning to Feni by five microbuses after joining a protest rally at Sonagazi Bazar over Upazila Juba League leader Azizul Haque’s murder.
