Listed drug dealer Shajahan held from city

Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested
a listed drug dealer Shahjahan Mia, former chairman of Teknaf Sadar Union
Parishad (UP), from the city’s Bashundhara residential area in the wee hours
of Monday.

Assistant Superintendent of RAB ANM Imran Khan confirmed the matter to BSS
today.

Recently, video footage is available of Shahjahan, also the nephew of Awami
League-backed former lawmaker Abdur Rahman Bodi, openly attacking the
protesters with sharp weapons during the anti-discrimination student movement
in Teknaf.

“He is accused of several cases including violence and narcotics. Necessary
legal action will be taken soon against him,” the RAB official added. (BSS)
