A team of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested the director-in-charge of renowned Mohammedan Sporting Club, Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan, in the small hours of Thursday.

RAB-2 commander lieutenant colonel Ashiq Billah told Prothom Alo that a RAB team arrested Lokman from his house in Monipuripara around 12:30am and took him to its office.

The RAB-2 team conducted a raid in his house around 11:00pm on Tuesday.

The law enforcement, however, did not clarify the reason of arresting Lokman.

Incidentally, police recovered a large number of casino boards and other instruments for gambling in a recent operation in a number of clubs including Mohammedan Sporting Club amid its clampdown on casinos and clubs in the capital.
