Police detained 24 activists of Islami Chhatra Shibir, a student organisation backed by the controversial political party Jamaat-e-Islami, in Kishoreganj today.
Kishoreganj’s Natun Jailkhana area is right beside the busy Kishoreganj-Netrakona-Mymensingh highway. Hundreds of people reside in this place, and the highway is the entry point to Kishoreganj. Long-route buses going to Dhaka, Sylhet, Cumilla and Chattogram ply the road on a regular basis.
