Suhad was an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League earlier.

After the 2001 general election, he joined JCD and took shelter under Akbor Bahini led by a Jubo Dal leader, sources said.

Police arrested him two times earlier, but released him allegedly under political pressure from his godfathers in the ruling party.

On Sunday, Suhad snatched two mobile phones and demanded toll from two persons -- Badsha and Chan Mia-- who came from Dhaka to visit relatives in Barisal city.

Police yesterday said they are preparing a case against him under the Speedy Trial Act.
