He was taken to the DB office from Gulshan this evening. Besides, his wife also lodged a complaint against him.

"We will try to find out why he burnt his passport and spread propaganda against the government on social media," Harun-Or-Rashid said after the arrest of Adam Tamizi.

The DB chief also said that if they think he is mentally ill during the interrogation, he will be sent to rehabilitation for psychiatric treatment. And if it seems that he did all the things to spread propaganda against the government, legal action will be taken against him, he added.

Earlier, a case was filed against him under the Digital Security Act with Dakshinkhan Police in Uttara in the capital.

Later, a raid was conducted on November 16 midnight to arrest Tamizi from his Gulshan residence but RAB was forced to return without completing the arrest as he threatened to commit suicide if he was arrested.
