Actress Nawshaba held for spreading rumours
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained actress Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed from city's Uttara area on Saturday night over spreading rumours on social media over attack on protesting students.
A text message of RAB said that a team of elite force nabbed Nawshaba and took her to RAB-1 office for interrogation over his Facebook live.
The actress went to Facebook live around 4:00pm and said that the attackers killed two students and gouged out the eyes of another at Jigatala intersection, reports UNB.
In her Facebook live, the actress requested people to get united, take to the streets to 'protect' the students as they were attacked by Chhatra League activists.
The students who were managing the traffic at Jigatala intersection and Mirpur in the city came under attack on Saturday afternoon.
A group of 25-30 youths, said to be Bangladesh Chhatra League activists, swooped on the students with sticks in front of the BGB Jigatala gate around 2pm, leaving some of them injured.
Later, a chase and counter-chase took place between the two groups several times.
Finally, members of Border Guard Bangladesh came out of the Pilkhana headquarters and brought the situation under control.
