Activists of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) detained a leader of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) from the Jahangirnagar University (JU) campus on Sunday (November 8) afternoon on allegations of putting up BCL posters and carrying out political activities.

The detained individual has been identified as Saiful Islam, 26, a 2016-17 session student of Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) and joint general secretary of the university's BCL branch. He was apprehended from a tea stall operated by his mother, Nasima Begum, near the campus transport square.

According to JCD members, Saiful was allegedly involved in posting BCL materials across the campus and distributing food to rickshaw and auto-rickshaw pullers in the name of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Protesters also claimed that evidence found on his mobile phone indicated communications with BCL leaders and online propaganda targeting students.

JU Assistant Proctor Associate Professor Abdus Sattar Joy confirmed that incriminating data was discovered on the suspect's phone, adding that law enforcement had seized the device and taken him into custody while university authorities prepared to file a formal case.

University Security Officer Jefrul Hasan Chowdhury stated that police were notified immediately following the detention and subsequently escorted Saiful and his mobile phone to the station.

Ashulia Police Station Officer-in-Charge Tariqul Islam confirmed that officers were dispatched following a request from the university administration. Saiful has been brought to the station, and authorities are reviewing allegations before proceeding with legal steps.
