The police yesterday arrested former BNP lawmaker Nazimuddin Alam of Charfasson in Bhola district from the new DOHS apartment of BNP leader Brig Gen (retd) Hannan Shah.

The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka heard the argument for his bail, but the State side argued that he should not be granted bail as he repeatedly failed to appear before the court despite arrest warrants. Later, the court ordered to send Nazimuddin to jail.

Officer-in-charge of Kafrul police station Fazlul Haque told The New Nation that Alam was arrested in connection with four cases filed with the Charfasson Police Station in Bhola. A team of Kafrul Police Station entered the apartment of Hannan Shah and arrested him about 12:30 PM from his drawing room while he was talking with party workers. The officer-in-charge of Charfasson Police Station was present during the arrest.

BNP sources said Alam came to Hannan Shah's apartment in the morning. Police arrested him around midday.

Nazimuddin was the former Assistant General Secretary of Dhaka University Central Students' Union.
