Advocate M Kamal Uddin, who claims to be president of the so-called “Bangladesh Non-Fugitive Awami League”, was taken into police custody for security reasons after locals surrounded his rented house in Chattogram’s Karnaphuli early today (14 November).
Police took him away from the CDA Tech area at around 1:30am to prevent a possible deterioration in law and order, said Nur Ahmed, officer-in-charge (OC) of Karnaphuli Police Station.
Police are investigating local residents’ allegations of misconduct and activities that could disrupt law and order, the OC said, adding that legal action will follow if the allegations are proven.
Kamal is a former expelled law affairs secretary of Chattogram South District Jubo League.
He previously served as an assistant public prosecutor (APP) at Chattogram court and as a panel lawyer for International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC).
Kamal announced the formation of the “Bangladesh Non-Fugitive Awami League” last October.
He drew attention after a video identifying him as the committee’s central president went viral on Facebook and TikTok, criticising the activity-banned Awami League’s leaders in hiding.
Police have not officially declared him arrested. However, the OC confirmed that he remains in police custody.
A video circulating on social media purportedly shows Kamal surrendering to police as officers escort him downstairs.
