RANGPUR, Sept 4, 2025 (BSS) - Police have arrested Shuktara Begum, the president of Ward 25 unit of the Rangpur Metropolitan Mohila Sramik League, in a case of attempted murder during the anti-discrimination student movement.

 "We arrested Shuktara Begum from her house in the city's Shalbon Botla Club Mour area in the early hours on Wednesday," said Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Rangpur Kotwali Metropolitan Police Station Md Ataur Rahman.
