Former Narayanganj Mayor Ivy arrested

Former Narayanganj Mayor Ivy arrested

Former Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) Mayor Dr Selina Hayat Ivy was arrested early Friday.

Narayanganj Sadar Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Nasir Uddin said they detained her from ‘Chunka Kutir’ in Deobhog around 6:00 am, citing multiple charges, including murder.

The overnight tension centring the drive to detain the Awami League-backed former mayor ended after police took her into custody, as hundreds of supporters gathered in front of her house upon learning about the law enforcers’ presence.

Around 11:00 pm on Thursday, a police team from Narayanganj Sadar Model Police Station arrived at Ivy's home, and the news quickly spread, triggering protests.

Her supporters blocked adjacent roads to prevent police access to the area.
