Contacted, Vatara Police Station officer-in-charge Kazi Mainul Alam said Sujon went to Evercare Hospital to meet a doctor. Then he wanted to meet Khaleda Zia. However, he had no permission. Because of it, he was handed over to the police.

Asked whether he was detained or not, the OC said, "No, he was not detained. He is being questioned."
