DHAKA – Shafiqul Islam, chief of (DB) DMP, confirmed it to The Daily Star this morning.
“She has been taken to the DB office,” he said.
According to the official website of the Bangladesh Parliament, Shirin served as Speaker from April 30, 2013, until her resignation on September 2, 2024.
Following the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, 2024, multiple cases have been filed against party leaders across the country.
On August 27, a case was filed against Shirin in connection with the death of a jeweller, Muslim Uddin, in Rangpur during the July uprising.
However, the DB has not disclosed the specific case in which she was arrested.
