Two more arrested
Detectives yesterday arrested two more suspects in connection with the murder of secular blogger Niladri Chattopadhyay Niloy from the capital.
The arrestees are Kausar Hossain Khan, 29, and Kamal Hossain Sardar, 29.
On August 14, detectives arrested Saad al Nahiyan and Masud Rana, alleged members of Ansarullah Bangla Team, for their suspected involvement in the murder.
“We arrested two people suspecting their involvement in Niloy murder on August 14. According to their information, we arrested Kausar in Mirpur around 5:00pm and Kamal in Dholaipar around 6:30pm today [yesterday],” Mahbub Alam, deputy commissioner (East) of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told The Daily Star.
Niloy was hacked to death inside his house at Goran in the capital on August 7.
Kausar, Kamal and Nahiyan were arrested earlier as they were charge-sheeted accused in an attempted murder case filed in connection with an attack on blogger Asif Mohiuddin two years ago, police said.
