Khaleda Zia's advisor Habibur Rahman held

Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's advisor and the party's Vice Chairman Md Habibur Rahman Habib, reports UNB.

RAB arrested the BNP leader from Dhaka's Mirpur DOHS area early today in connection with a case filed for contempt of court, RAB-2 Senior Assistant Director (Media) ASP Shihab Karim informed the media.

Further information will be shared later, added the RAB official.

Earlier, the High Court asked Habibur Rahman to appear before the court on November 6 and explain his "derogatory remarks" about a judge of the High Court on social media.

The HC bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil passed the suo moto order.

The court issued a rule seeking explanation as to why punitive action should not be taken against the BNP leader for contempt of court.
