Mirpur Model Police Arrest Magura District Awami League Leader Rahul

Dhaka, Sunday Night – Around 9 PM on Sunday, Dr. Rahul Mitra was arrested by two police teams led by Officer-in-Charge Sajjad Rahman of Mirpur Model Police Station. The arrest took place at a dental clinic named "Dental Solution" located opposite Al Helal in Mirpur.

Shortly after the arrest, local students and leaders of the National Students and Citizens Platform (NCP) gathered at the scene, chanting various slogans in protest.

Sources reveal that Dr. Mitra had close ties with Sheikhor, a former Member of Parliament from Magura, and allegedly took a stance against student movements during the July uprising.

Speaking to the press, OC Sajjad Rahman stated, "We have credible information linking Dr. Mitra to the killings that took place during the July movement. He also reportedly holds a position within the Magura District unit of the Awami League. We are collecting all necessary evidence to proceed with legal action."

Meanwhile, local student groups have accused Dr. Mitra of financing both an Awami League rally in Magura and a flash procession in the capital’s Shewrapara area.

As of the time of reporting, it remains unconfirmed whether any formal case has been filed against Dr. Mitra in Magura or any police station in Dhaka.
