A CID team arrested the four while conducting drives in the capital's Bir Uttom Rafikul Islam Avenue and Merul Badda areas on Sunday, said Mohammad Kamrujjaman, special superintendent (Dhaka-south) of CID.

The team also seized a private car, a machete, a knife, rope, towel, sleeping pills and toxic ointment from them, he said while addressing a briefing at the CID Headquarters yesterday.
