Ruhul was shown arrested under the Digital Security Act the next day.

Meanwhile, leaders and activists of Sramik-Krishak, Chhatra-Janata Oikya Parishad in Khulna formed a human chain in front of Khulna Press Club this afternoon demanding the immediate release of Ruhul Amin and cancelation of the Digital Security Act.
