Police in Chattogram confirmed the arrest of the former JCD leader during a security operation in the coastal metropolis. The suspect, identified as Lelin and known for his association with the student organization's militant wing, has been a subject of law enforcement concern for several years.
The arrest follows ongoing efforts by authorities to dismantle networks linked to the banned student organization. Security forces have intensified operations against individuals accused of involvement in criminal activities attributed to JCD splinter groups operating in the region.
Details regarding the specific charges against the suspect remain limited at this stage. Authorities have indicated that further legal proceedings will determine the course of action and any formal accusations that may be filed.
The Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal has faced sustained government crackdowns in recent years due to allegations of involvement in extortion, violence, and other criminal enterprises. The arrest in Chattogram represents part of a broader security response to combat such activities in the region.
