Police detained the president of the banned Chhatra League’s Rupnagar thana unit in the capital on Friday evening.
The detainee, Md Maruf Hossain Mithu, 34, of Dolnapur village in Cumilla’s Titas upazila, is a resident of Dhaka’s Pallabi area.
He was detained during a police drive conducted on the basis of confidential information.
Mirpur Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Hafizur Rahman confirmed the detention, saying Mithu is being held at the police station while legal procedures are underway.
Mithu was involved in suppressing the student-led mass movement in 2024 and had allegedly been attempting to reorganise the banned organisation under the direction of fugitive leaders.
