Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested listed drug peddler Shahjahan Mia, nephew of former lawmaker Abdur Rahman Bodi from Dhaka’s Bashundhara residential area on Sunday night.
Imran Khan, assistant superintendent of police (media wing) of the RAB Headquarters, confirmed the matter.
Arrestee Shahjahan, former chairman of Teknaf union parishad, was accused of attacking protesters with weapons openly during the recent student-led movement in Teknaf.
Moreover, he is accused of several cases, including violence and drug dealing.
Abdur Rahman Bodi, Awami League-backed former lawmaker and much criticized for his alleged involvement in Yaba peddling from Myanmar, was arrested by the RAB in Chittagong on August 20.
