Adam Tamizi Haque, chairman of Haque Group, has been detained by Dhaka Metropolitan Detective (DB) Polic on Saturday evening.
A case under the Cyber Security Act is pending against Adam Tamiji Haque for threatening to kill Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Apart from this, there is also a search warrant against him.
A DB official told to Khoberer Kagoj that there are several complaints against Adam Tamiji Haque, including burning the country's passport, making bad comments about the Prime Minister. That's why he was taken to the DB office at Minto Road in Dhaka for questioning.
Another DB source said that DB Chief Harun-Or-Rashid will brief the media about it.
Earlier on November 16, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members raided the house of Adam Tamizi Haque in Gulshan area of the capital.
Tamizi Haque, however, threatened to commit suicide if he is arrested, according to security officials who took part in the raid.
