Police have arrested three young men for their suspected involvement with the abduction and murder of seven persons including councilor Nazrul Islam in Narayanganj.
They have also seized a microbus from the house of Nur Hossain, the prime accused in a case over the murders, said Narayanganj Superintendent of Police Khandaker Mohiduddin.
“The names of the three arrested persons are not mentioned in the case but police are gathering information on them,” he said.
He said the seized microbus also appeared to be suspicious.
The Criminal Investigation Department were already informed about the arrests, he said.
Police recovered the cell phone of one of the victims, advocate Chandan Sarker from Dhaka, the SP said.
“The cell phone was used for the last several days,” he said.
Earlier around 11.30am, police raided Nur Hossain Shimrile residence in Siddhirganj.
Nazrul’s wife Selina Islam Beauty had filed a criminal case of abduction against Siddhirganj unit Awami League Vice-President Nur Hossain and General Secretary Haji Md Yasin.
The raid was conducted on information that a clandestine meeting was going on in that house, the police official said.
