Police have arrested three people near the Gulshan residence of Tarique Rahman and the BNP office over “suspicious behaviour”.Of them, two were detained near Tarique’s house on Sunday afternoon, while the third was arrested earlier, around 3am near the party office.
All three claimed to be devoted supporters of the BNP leader.
Gulshan Police chief Md Rakibul Islam identified the men as Enam Hami, 32, and two friends, Ruhul Amin and Omar Faruk.
The early morning arrest involved an Uber driver who brought an individual to the BNP office. The security team reportedly handed both the passenger and driver over to police.
Following questioning, the Uber driver was released while Enam was detained. Police recovered one legitimate and three fake National ID cards, along with five bank cheques.
Facing fraud charges, Enam, a resident of Chandpur, told police he presented a fake ID card when checking into a residential hotel. He was later sent to court.
According to police, Ruhul and Omar were taking photos near Tarique’s residence while attempting to meet him when they were taken into custody. During questioning, a small bundle of cannabis was found in one individual’s pocket.
They also face legal measures, police said.
