When contacted, OC Rajesh Barua, Detective Branch of Cumilla, said, "We did not make the arrest. Officials from Chattogram must have taken them into custody."
The arrest comes just two days after the clash between BNP men and police where at least 25 people, including five law enforcers, were injured at the Kazir Dewri area in the port city.
Both sides traded blame over starting the conflict amid BNP's protest rally in Chattogram city against the government's most recent power tariff hike.
