Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has stated that the mob justice incident during the detention of former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Nurul Huda was undesirable. He emphasized that if any members of the law enforcement agencies were involved in such an incident, it would be investigated, and legal action would be taken.
