Eight of his supporters were arrested by members of Bangladesh Army from the polling station.[3] On 5 February 2013, Dara's supporters rallied through Rajshahi with weapons following an inter-party clash.[4] He filed cases against the Daily Prothom Alo under section 499 and 500 of the Bangladesh Penal Code for allegedly defamatory news stories.[5]
