A senior officer of Ramna Detective Division told the media that Shahidul Haque was remanded in DB custody.

The senior officer of Ramana Detective Division said that on the last day of the largest mass movement of students in the history of the country, on the morning of August 5, a message was sent twice on WhatsApp from a mobile number in his name. The message was sent to a senior police officer of the DMP active in suppressing the agitation that day. He is currently in the custody of law enforcement agencies.

He gave a message to ‘dispatch’ to stop the mass procession coming from Uttara towards Ganabhaban. If he really did it, it would be a terrible provocation. The message is being checked by IT support.
