Confirming the matter, Rabiul Hossain Bhuiyan, Joint Commissioner of the DB (Dhaka North), stated that he was detained and is being taken to the DB office.

Earlier, a DB source mentioned that a team from Gulshan was carrying out the raid at Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury’s Banani residence, and if he was found at home, he might be taken into custody.

It was reported that he was prevented from traveling abroad on Wednesday afternoon and was sent back from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

Regarding this, Shamsher Mobin told the media that he intended to go to Thailand for his wife’s medical treatment.

He was formerly the Vice Chairman of the BNP. He resigned from all BNP positions in 2015 and joined Bikalpadhara Bangladesh in 2018, led by former President AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury.

On January 7 of this year, he became the Chairperson of the Trinamool BNP, founded by the late Nazmul Huda, in September 2023. The Election Commission registered the Trinamool BNP before the last national elections.
