Police detained a youth near the prime minister’s residence in Gulshan, Dhaka, around 12pm on Sunday.
The detained youth has been identified as Md Shakil Mia, son of Md Abdur Rahim of Karati village in Tarail upazila of Kishoreganj district.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Shakhawat Hossain, the on-duty officer at Gulshan police station, said security personnel became suspicious of Shakil as he was roaming around the area near the prime minister’s residence.
He said Shakil could not provide proper answers when questioned by the security personnel.
As his statements were incoherent, security personnel detained him and informed the Gulshan police station. Police later went to the spot and took him to the police station.
SI Shakhawat Hossain said legal action against Shakil was in process.
