'According to the constitution of the organization, if anyone is detained or arrested for criminal offenses, he will be expelled. For this reason, they have been expelled from all their member posts, including Dhaka Metropolitan South Jubo League. ”

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Jubo League’s Dhaka South unit President Ismail Hossain Samrat and vice president Arman in Cumilla on Oct 6.

Samrat went underground once information linking leaders of the Awami League's youth front with the illegal gambling business surfaced.

Earlier on September 24, the government imposed a travel ban on Samrat.
