Mass arrests before long shutdownOver 600 detained, 52 pickets jailed by mobile courts, nine buses burnt in pre-hartal violence 
Law enforcers, in a ‘clampdown’ across the country on Saturday, detained more than 600 people, many of them political leaders and activists, ahead of the opposition-called 36-hour nationwide hartal (strike) beginning today.

Police and witnesses said at least six passenger buses were burnt in pre-hartal violence in the capital on Saturday evening.

In 24 hours, the Dhaka Metro-

politan Police (DMP) arrested 232 people, double the rate of detaining people on various charges in a single day.

The action preceded the hartal call made by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led opposition on Friday to protest the move to scrap constitutional provision of non-party caretaker government system for holding general elections.

While calling the first non-stop hartal spanning two days, the opposition leaders linked the issue what it considered the Awami League government’s failure to address public interest issues.

BNP’s acting secretary general Mirza Fakrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday alleged that police arrested hundreds of opposition activists across the country to harass them and foil the shutdown programme.

A high official of the police denied the allegation and claimed that 200-250 people are arrested in the capital a day in normal circumstances.

"Law enforcers are looking for the culprits who are involved in destructive activities," additional DMP commissioner Monirul Islam told daily sun, issuing a note of caution against ‘troublemakers’.

Ahead of the strike, the pro-hartal activists used violent means to make the people panicked, police said in support of the mass arrest.

Mirza Fakrul claimed that police arrested quite a number of party leaders alongside side many activists from the capital and elsewhere in the past two days, as part of ‘repressive’ measures.

Police allegedly charged batons on the activists of BNP’s ally Jamaat-e-Islami and picked up 12 activists of its student front Shibir from Kakrail in the city on Saturday.

Witnesses said Jamaat-Shibir activists came under police attack near Kakrail when they brought out a procession from Baitul Mukarram National Mosque area at about 10:30am in support of the hartal.

Jatrabari police arrested M Abdullah, general secretary of Jatrabari thana unit of BNP’s student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal from the city’s Kajla area on Friday night.

According to police and fire brigade officials, buses were burnt in the city’s Kamalapur, Matijheel, Shantinagar, Chakbazar, Khilgaon and Azimpur areas.

In Motijheel, hartal supporters set fire to a Biman staff bus which was then parked besides the Notre Dame College at about 1.45 pm, said officer-in-charge of Matijheel police station Tofazzal Hossain.

Fire fighters and local people extinguished fire immediate after the incident.

Unidentified people also torched a passenger bus which was waiting for passengers near Karnofuli Garden City in Shantinagar area at about 3.30 pm, OC of Ramna police station Rafiqul Islam said.

According to the record at the police headquarters, the law enforcers arrested 77 people in Chittagong, 10 in Khulna, eight in Rajshahi, nine in Barisal, 21 in Sylhet.

Besides, 66 people were arrested from different places under Dhaka range, 12 from Rangpur range and 26 from Sylhet range.

"We are arresting only suspected criminals and save the life and public properties from violent activities," additional DMP commissioner Islam said.

"It is our duty to arrest those who are involved in criminal activities such as killing, mugging, hijacking, vandalising and setting fire to motor vehicles during the hartal."

When asked about mass arrest, the police official termed it a normal course but said the police would be looking for those who would be engaged in destructive activities in the name of hartal.
