Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch (DB) has arrested three people, including the main shooter, in connection with the murder of Azizur Rahman Musabbir, former member secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan North Jubo Dal, in the capital’s West Tejturi Bazar area.

The arrests were made during separate raids in Manikganj and Gazipur late Friday night (January 9), a senior DB official confirmed.

He said the arrestees include the prime shooter, identified as Jinat, and a suspected mastermind named Billal. The third detainee is believed to be an associate of the two.

Musabbir was shot dead on Wednesday in the West Tejturi Bazar area. A murder case was filed at Tejgaon Police Station on Thursday (January 8), with the victim’s family accusing five unidentified persons.

Police said further investigation is underway.
