Fakhrul barred from going into BNP’s Nayapaltan office

Mirza Faklhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP’s Secretary General was barred from going into BNP’s Nayapaltan Central Office this morning.

Police stopped Fakhrul when he reached Bijoynagar around 10:50 am, after appearing before a Dhaka court in the morning.

Police officers told the senior BNP leader that they will not allow anyone to go into the BNP office for security reasons, as they “recovered bombs” from there.

Huge number of law enforcers remained deployed in the area since this morning. A tense situation is prevailing in the area in Dhaka where traffic movement remained disrupted.

No one is being allowed to enter the area without ID, as police have set up barricades at the Nightingale intersection in Bijoynagar and Fakirapool. No vehicles were seen in front of the BNP office.

No BNP leaders and activists have been seen at the party office since this morning, after the clash.
