Police have arrested a man for attacking a journalist on the Dhaka city elections day from Buddhijibi Road in city’s Rayerbazar area on Wednesday night.

The dawn-to-dusk hartal (shutdown), enforced by BNP in the capital today (Sunday) in protest against ‘vote frauds’ in Saturday’s Dhaka city elections, ended peacefully with lukewarm public response.

BNP’s Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday claimed that people are “spontaneously observing” the dawn-to-dusk hartal (shutdown) in protest against ‘massive vote frauds’ in Saturday’s Dhaka city elections.
