Akhtar Hossain, Superintendent of Police of Habiganj, shared this information during a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon.
Sohag Mia (32), son of Montaj Mia from Mobarakpur in Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar, was arrested by a joint team from Chunarughat thana, the Detective Branch (DB) of police, and the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit (CTTC) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). The arrest took place at a hotel in Sylhet on Tuesday night.
During the press briefing, Superintendent Hossain disclosed that an anonymous caller had informed Barrister Sumon via mobile phone that his life was in danger, providing relevant information. Following the threat, a general diary was filed on June 28 with Chunarughat thana, and Barrister Sumon himself filed another GD with DMP's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar thana on the night of June 29.
