Unidentified biker flees after taping envelope to Tarique Rahman’s car in Gulshan

An unidentified biker taped a white envelope to a vehicle carrying BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman in Dhaka’s Gulshan late Wednesday night before fleeing.

The incident occurred around 11:45pm on road number 65 as Tarique was travelling in a bulletproof car from BNP’s Gulshan party office to his residence.

Police said the rider, on a Hero Hunk motorcycle, approached the convoy near Gulshan Society Park, taped the envelope to the car, and sped away.

The contents of the envelope could not be immediately confirmed.
