Law enforcement authorities in Rajshahi have arrested Hasibur Rahman Hasib, a prominent student political leader, amid allegations involving illegal substances.

Detailing the execution of the raid, Mohammad Golam Kabir noted that a team led by Sub-Inspector Ripon Kumar conducted the operation and successfully apprehended the student leader. During the subsequent search, authorities reportedly recovered Tapentadol, which is classified as an opioid, directly from his possession.
