The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested 25 more leaders and activists of the Awami League (AL) and its affiliated organisations from the capital city in the last 24 hours.

The detentions came after intelligence linked the individuals to plans for sabotage, organising sudden "flash" processions, and carrying out crude bomb explosions in the capital.

According to DB officials, the arrests were made in coordinated raids across several areas of Dhaka over the past 24 hours.

Deputy Commissioner of DB Muhammad Talebur Rahman confirmed their arrests.

DB reiterated its commitment to stamping out any resurgence of banned political activity in Dhaka, emphasising that maintaining law and order remains its top priority.
