A statement on behalf of Rangamati Shibir Chief Shahidullah Kausar, Khagrachari Chief Minhaz Uddin and Bandarban Chief Harun Ar Rashid claimed that Shibir central President Mohammad Delwar Hossen was arrested intentionally over false case.
He (Delwar) has been taken away under 14-day remand and is being tortured, said the statement.
