Police have arrested 32 leaders and activists of the Awami League, whose activities are currently banned, in separate drives across Dhaka, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said.
DMP Deputy Commissioner (Media and Public Relations) Md Akter Hossain said the arrests were made during raids at different locations in the capital on Sunday.
The arrests came two days after hundreds of alleged Awami League activists attempted to bring out a procession in Gulshan on Friday.
Two cocktail explosions were reported during the incident. Police later fired two rounds of rubber bullets to disperse the protesters.
Videos circulating on social media showed hundreds of people taking part in the procession and chanting “Joy Bangla”.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse the procession, according to the videos.
