Police today detained seven youths during an hour-long raid at the home of former education minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhoury Nowfel in Sholoshohor Gate No. 2 area of Chattogram.
The raid began around 3:00pm at Chashma Hill.
Mohammad Solaiman, officer-in-charge of Panchlaish Police Station, told journalists that police acted on a tip-off suggesting that banned Chhatra League and Jubo League members were staying in Nowfel's residence. "After verification, police will decide the next course of action in this regard," he said.
Nowfel is the son of late ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, former mayor of Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) and senior Awami League (AL) leader.
Police sources said the Chowdhury family owns a restaurant that was shut down after the fall of the AL government last year. The restaurant staff had continued supplying food online through delivery platforms and were reportedly guarding the house.
