Woman who called herself victim for voting for BNP in live video demanding justice for theft sent to jail

Expressing anger over successive thefts at her business establishment in Mymensingh's Bhaluka, a woman said in a Facebook live, "By voting for the BNP government, I am a victim today." Following this, local BNP leaders and activists surrounded her business establishment and demanded justice. After taking her into custody, police showed her arrested and sent her to jail on Monday.
