DHAKA (Reuters) - Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina was arrested from her Dhaka home on Monday and taken to a local court, her party said.
It was not immediately clear on what charges Hasina was detained, but she has previously faced murder charges during political violence late last year and allegations of extortion.
Television channels showed hundreds of policmen escorting Hasina, the chief of the Awami League party, to a metropolitan court. Police had surrounded Hasina's house since Sunday midnight, witnesses said.
