Law enforcement agencies have arrested Syeda Monalisa Islam, wife of former Public Administration Minister Farhad Hossain and vice-president of the Jubo League central committee. She was arrested from a house on Eskaton Road in Dhaka on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Mejbah Uddin, officer-in-charge (OC) of Meherpur Sadar Police Station, confirmed the matter. He said that Syeda Monalisa has three cases against her on several charges, including an attack on students and anti-discrimination activists in Meherpur.<\/p>\n
The administration and people of the area had known for a long time that Monalisa Islam had fled to Canada immediately after the government was overthrown in a student uprising. The former minister’s family had spread such false information about her escape to the society.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, locals have expressed joy and happiness on social media over the news of Syeda Monalisa Islam’s arrest.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Farhad Hossain’s elder sister Shamim Ara Hira (50) and her husband Abdus Samad Bablu Biswas (55) were arrested from Bashundhara area in early December in a case filed against them for attacking students and the public during the anti-discrimination movement.<\/p>\n
Earlier, former Public Administration Minister Farhad Hossain was arrested from the capital’s Eskaton area on the night of September 14 last year. A case was filed against him for shooting and killing students and the public during the anti-discrimination student movement on August 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
