Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) have detained 244 leaders and activists of the banned Awami League and its affiliates while attempting flash processions in the capital.

Police also seized 14 crude bombs and seven banners during the operation.

At a press briefing on Wednesday (September 24), Additional Commissioner (Crime & Operations) S.N. Nazrul Islam said the arrests were made in Uttara, Farmgate, and Tejgaon areas. The detainees had reportedly come from Mymensingh, Kishoreganj, Gazipur, and Gopalganj.

He added that over 500 activists had already been arrested in recent raids across Dhaka.

Warning of further unrest, Nazrul Islam accused the outlawed party of trying to destabilise law and order ahead of the national election.
