Transport came to a halt for about an hour on Rikabibazar-Lamabazar road causing untold sufferings to commuters as unruly activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) put up a barricade on the road on Monday night protesting arrest of some fellows on charge of extortion. The BCL men were caught by traders at Rathajatra fair at Rikabibazar in the city at about 9:00pm. Later, they were handed over to police. At this stage, a group of BCL activists swooped on police and snatched away their fellows, police and locals said.
