The injured correspondent Nazmul Huda Suman said he was on his way back to the university from the office.
When he reached Bijoynagar area, he saw policemen riding on a pillion which was recently banned by the police authorities in the wake of recent spate of arson and crude bomb attacks.
He then tried to get a photo of them in his mobile phone, which one of the policemen noticed.
Immediately after that some 20-30 policemen led by SI Mehedi Hasan Suman of Ramna police swooped on him, despite he gave them his identity.
