Taimur Alam Khandaker

Additional Superintendent of Police Matiar Rahman said he was detained around 1pm Tuesday from the city’s Chandmari.

An adviser to BNP chief Khaleda Zia, Taimur is a former president of the party’s district chapter.

Police have named him in several cases started by them over violence in early 2015, when the BNP-led coalition enforced a countrywide blockade.

A warrant was out against Taimur in a police case over explosion and violence on Jan 5 that year and he was arrested on Tuesday in that case, said senior Narayanganj police officer Rahman.
