Eyewitnesses reported that a group of 12 to 15 youths marched for approximately three to four minutes chanting slogans including "Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu" and "Sheikh Hasina will return home, like a hero."
Videos of the event reportedly circulated on Facebook, drawing the attention of local authorities.
The procession was reportedly led by Faisal, nephew of Md Musa, the ex-president of Juldha Union Chhatra League, and son of Mohammad Noor, an Awami League leader arrested earlier on 11 February.
Following the incident, members from Karnaphuli Police Station launched a drive and detained three individuals, including 22-year-old Farhan, son of Abdul Malek alias Ghora Malek, who was recently arrested.
The identities of the other two detainees have not yet been confirmed.
