The detainee, Selim Khan, 45, is a leader of the ruling party-affiliated organisation's Dhaka metropolitan north wing.
He was held around 4pm yesterday and taken to the Airport police station.
The station's Officer-in-Charge Nur-e-Azam confirmed the incident to Dhaka Tribune.
“Police have detained Selim Khan, a Jubo League leader, from among the activists gathered there to receive Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” he said.
The officer said the gun Selim Khan had was licenced.
“But there is a ban on bringing weapons to the prime minister's event. Therefore he has been detained at the police station,” he added.
Nur-e-Azam said decision would be taken about the man after discussing with senior police officials.
