2 JCD leaders held in Kushtia
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) on Saturday night arrested two Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leaders for their alleged involvement with destructive activities.
They are Hasanuzzaman Sumon, organising secretary of Kushtia district JCD, and Arifur Rahman Sumon, general secretary of Sadar upazila unit JCD.
Rab handed over them over to police who produced them before a judicial magistrate's court yesterday. The court sent them to jail.
Police said they arrested the JCD leaders on May 4 last year for their involvement with attacking a journalists' convention at Kushtia Public Library ground on April 29 in 2006, leaving injured 25 journalists including Bangladesh Observer Editor Iqbal Sobhan Choudhury.
During interrogation by police, the JCD men had also admitted their involvement with the attack and said two local BNP lawmakers were behind the attack.
A magistrate's court granted them bail after 22 days of their custody.
