No arrest made without warrant: Kamal
DHAKA, Dec 2, 2018 (BSS) – Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan today reiterated
that not a single arrest has been made without court warrant as police have
only arrested the people who are accused in specific cases.
“BNP brought allegations that police are arresting its leaders and
activists without issuing warrant for them. But police are only taking
actions against those who are accused in specific cases, he told newsmen
following a programme at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC)
in the city.
The minister inaugurated the National Plan of Action (NPA) for Prevention
of Human Trafficking 2018-2022 as the chief guest. The USAID organised the
event.
He said it is a political strategy of BNP that they made the allegation of
mass arrest against their leaders and activists which is only propaganda
nothing else.
Law enforcement agencies are currently working under the Election
Commission. They are arresting or going into actions as per the directives
from the EC, Kamal said, adding, “If there is an arrest warrant against a
nomination seeker or any person, the law enforcement agencies have no option
but to arrest them.”
Replying to a query about spreading rumour in social media, he said the law
enforcing agencies are working on it and stern action will be taken against
the people who will be found involved in circulating wrong information on
social networking platform.
