BNP’s Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed was picked up by plainclothesmen at 10:30pm on Tuesday from a house in Dhaka, his wife claimed Wednesday night.

Hasina Ahmed, a former BNP MP on women’s quota, told bdnews24.com that her husband was taken away from a house in Uttara, north Dhaka.

Salahuddin has been purportedly signing the party’s media statements extending its shutdowns.

The former Cox’s Bazar MP had served as an assistant private secretary to former prime minister Khaleda Zia during her 1991-96 term when he was a junior civil servant.
