A Khulna court today sent Md Morshed Ahmed Ripon, 40, a Jubo League leader to jail in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Ripon, also known as Kala Ripon, was arrested from his residence on Tuesday night over his alleged involvement in a gathering and procession reportedly carried out by activists of the banned Awami League.
SI Nadim Mahmud of Sonadanga Police Station said Ripon, along with 20-25 unidentified people gathered in front of Hotel Al Qadr in the Sonadanga area at around 5:45am on July 16.
Police alleged that they hurled brickbats and obstructed the road with an intention damage important installations in Khulna city and disrupt road communication between Khulna and other districts.
They later brought out a procession towards Shibbari intersection. The group dispersed before police reached the spot, the SI added.
SI Md Faruk Alam of Sonadanga Police Station filed the case on September 16, accusing Ripon and others of involvement in the incident.
Police arrested Ripon from his residence on Tuesday night in connection with the case.
He was produced before the court this afternoon, and Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Farukh Iqbal sent him to jail.
