Party men guard Shamim Osman's house to thwart arrest
Supporters of Awami League (AL) leader and former lawmaker Shamim Osman guarded and encircled his Chashara house in Narayanganj to resist the law enforcers from the alleged arrest attempt.
They blocked all roads leading to 'Heeramahal' to thwart his arrest.
Ending a five-year of self-exile, Shamim finally returned to Narayanganj for submitting nomination paper on Monday. But his return was overshadowed by report of arrest attempt.

Talking to the journalists, Shamim said he is in the town. The attempt to arrest him is part of a conspiracy, but it was doomed to failure in the face of people's resistance.
