Joint forces detained former MP from Jhenaidah-3 constituency Major Gen (retd) Md Sala Uddin Miaji from Jashore Sadar upazila on Tuesday night, reports UNB.
Locals and students besieged Shyamolchhaya Park, owned by the former MP, in Rudrapur village of Chachra union under the upazila, on Tuesday evening after being tipped-off that Sala Uddin had been staying at the park.
The protesting people tried to enter the park but failed due to intervention of the joint forces.
Later around 11pm, the joint forces detained Sala Uddin, former military secretary to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, from the park and handed him over to Detective Branch (DB), said Manjurul Haque Bhuiyan, officer-in-charge of Jashore DB.
The detainee will also be handed over to Jhenaidah police on Wednesday, he said.
Sala Uddin was elected MP from the Jhenaidah-3 seat in the 12th national election.
