Law enforcers detained BNP standing committee member Brig (retd) ASM Hannan Shah from Baridhara in the capital this evening, minutes after the opposition alliance rejected polls schedule.

Abu Yousuf, assistant commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), told The Daily Star that the detectives picked up the BNP leader at Badda around 9:00pm.

He however did not give any reason behind the arrest.
