Rab officials from Mymensingh and Dhaka jointly conducted the raid at 9:45am following information extracted from Saiful, who was arrested for killing Rafiqul Islam, a madrasa teacher, in Muktagachha, on Monday. Three criminals, including Saiful and Sagor, gunned down Rafiqul while he was going to the madrasa at Dullachandi in Muktagachha from his house in Binnakuri on Monday morning.
