Students and locals obstructed a procession of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations in the capital's Dhanmondi 27 area this evening.

They detained three people before handing them over to police.

The detainees are Laboni, 28, an activist of Jubo Mohila League, Sirajul, an AL activist, and Raju, 28, a BCL activist.

DMP Additional Deputy Commissioner (Mohammadpur Zone) Jewel Rana told The Daily Star that Mohammadpur police, with the help of students and public, detained three individuals from the AL procession.

He said around 40-50 AL and BCL activists brought out the procession after iftar. Students and locals stopped them and detained three individuals and handed them over to police.

Police are interrogating the detainees to find out why they organised a procession with the members of banned organisation BCL.

In a video on social media, it could be seen that at least 40-50 people participated in the procession, chanting "Joy Bangla".

In another video, locals were seen allegedly assaulting two of the detainees.
