Pallabi police arrested former Habiganj-4 lawmaker Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman in Dhaka’s Mirpur early on Tuesday.
Suman had been shown arrested in a case filed with Pallabi police station, said Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Nazrul Islam.
“He is accused in a case filed over the killing of a student during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. Additionally, he faces charges in a case over vandalism and arson at Mirpur model police station.”
Earlier, at around 1:15am, Suman posted from his verified Facebook account, saying he was “going with the police. See you in court. Please pray for me.”
In the 12th general election, held in January, this Supreme Court lawyer sought the nomination of the Awami League but did not receive it.
However, he was elected independently from Habiganj-4, defeating the Awami League candidate and former state minister for civil aviation Md Mahbub Ali.
