Former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda was detained from his residence in the capital’s Uttara area on Sunday evening.
Hafizur Rahman, officer-in-charge (OC) of Uttara West Police Station, told Khabarer Kagoj that former CEC Nurul Huda was detained by local people and handed over to the police.
"For security reasons, he was handed over to the Detective Branch (DB) office on Minto Road shortly after he was detained," he said.
As Huda is an accused in the case filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station, he is likely to be shown arrested in connection with that case, he added.
The detention came just hours after a case was filed by the BNP at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station on Sunday morning, accusing 24 people, including former Chief Election Commissioners, Election Commissioners and other officials involved in conducting the 10th, 11th and 12th national elections, of irregularities and biased conduct.
Meanwhile, a video of local people arresting Nurul Huda and tying him with a garland of shoes has gone viral on social media.
