Confirming the arrest, the police station's OC Mohammad Abul Basar said, "Following directives from higher authorities, Sumon was arrested and, after completing the legal process, he was handed over to the Ashulia Police Station."
Ashulia Police Station released a statement in this regard saying after interrogation, it was revealed that Sumon's claim of being a peon of the BNP party office was false.
He had previously worked as a labour leader in a garment factory in the Ashulia area during the tenure of the previous government.
"Currently, he has been deceiving people by pretending to be a peon from the BNP central office, extorting unethical advantages, and conspiring with certain groups to create instability in the garment area."
After inquiring at the BNP party office, it was confirmed that Sumon had never been a peon or held any position there, nor was he involved with any of the party leaders, said the statement.
Sumon's false and fraudulent actions are being investigated and further legal action is underway, the Ashulia police said, adding that it is also being investigated who or what group might have instigated him to create such a disturbance in the OC's office.
"After presenting him in court, a remand plea will be sought."
