Ex-Bangladesh Chief Justice Arrested in Crackdown on Officials

Ex-Bangladesh Chief Justice Arrested in Crackdown on Officials

Imagine the top judge in Bangladesh, the Chief Justice, has been arrested.

This person, ABM Khairul Haque, used to be the head of the court.

The police took him from his home.

They say there are some cases against him, but they haven't said exactly what they're about.

People say he might have changed some important court decisions in the past.

This arrest is part of a larger situation where the current government is looking into people who worked in the government before, under a leader named Sheikh Hasina.

This is like a big clean-up of people in positions of power.
