The police have arrested a supporter of the United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) in Ghagra.

Sources said UPDF supporter Ratan Chakma, 32, was arrested from Nilomba’s shop at Jonumachara at around 11am today.

He is a resident of the village of Chelachara in Ghagra, Rangamati. His father’s name is Nua Chan Chakma.

Mr. Chakma is an ardent supporter of the UPDF and played an important role in the opening of the UPDF office in Ghagra bazaar.

Many believe that local members of the ruling Awami League might have colluded with the police in arresting him.

He has been falsely charged with robbery and possession of illegal drugs.
