Md Mainul Hasan, Commissioner of DMP, said this at a programme titled 'Commissioner's Meet The Press' at DMP Media Centre today (24 August).

Replying to a question, the commissioner said, "The 'VIPs' have been taken into remand under cases filed recently for their alleged involvement against the student protests. 

"We've learned that they had financed, advised and incited the government against the protesters. We're questioning them about these allegations," he added.
