Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) members on Sunday picked up Sultana Ahmed, former member of the Parliament from a reserved seat, from her Gulshan residence following a case file for her derogatory comment against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Gopalganj district Chhatra League's former president Abdul Hamid filed the case with Paltan Police Station this morning.

Later, police produced Sultana Ahmed before the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahidul Islam seeking a seven-day remand for interrogation.

Following the petition, the court granted a two-day remand.

Sultana was also the general secretary of Mohila Dal.

According to the case statement, on September 1 this year, Sultana Ahmed made derogatory comment against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a BNP programme.

She came to Dhaka in the morning from Barishal after joining BNP's grand rally on Saturday (November 5).
