Police conducted an hour-long raid on Jamaat-e-Islami head office in the city's Moghbazar last night.
Sources said a joint team of police and Detective Branch (DB) of Ramna launched the raid around 7:00pm in a bid to arrest Rezaul Karim, president of Islami Chhatra Shibir.
The Shibir leader of Jamaat's student wing is accused in a number of cases including one for issuing threats to the government.
Shiblee Noman, officer-in-charge of Ramna Police Station, told The Daily Star that none was arrested and nothing was seized from the party office.
Jamaat protested and condemned the raid.
In a written statement Acting Jamaat Ameer Mokbul Ahmad and Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam alleged that police broke one of the almirahs during the raid and took away copies of the party constitution and several other publications.
The Jamaat leaders also termed the raid harassment of its leaders and activists.
