Dhaka – (DB) DMP chief Shafiqul Islam confirmed this to The Daily Star this morning.
“She has been taken to the DB office,” he said.
According to the official website of the Bangladesh Parliament, Shilin served as Speaker from April 30, 2013 until his resignation on September 2, 2024.
After the collapse of the Awami League government on August 5, 2024, several cases were filed against party leaders across the country.
