Dhaka, Aug 14 (Just News): A Dhaka University female student, also a quota reform movement activist, was picked up by Detective Branch of police on Tuesday evening from in front of the university’s Shamsunnahar Hall for her alleged involvement in spreading rumour during the recent student protest.

Dhaka University proctor Professor AKM Golam Rabbani confirmed the matter.

‘She was taken for interrogation for her alleged involvement with ‘cyber crime’,’ said Golam Rabbani.
