One held for throwing acid on Suma
Police yesterday arrested the prime accused of a case filed for throwing acid on 14-year-old Suma Akhter.
Assistant Sub-inspector Mofazzal Hossain of Rupganj Police Station said Abdul Jalil, a listed criminal and the main accused of the case, was held in the city's Kanchpur at around 8:00pm.
Abdul Jalil, a father of two, wanted to marry Suma Akhter, daughter of Hossain Molla of Rupganj Upazila in Narayanganj.

Faruq and Abu Kalam are on the run.
The arrest was made a day after The Daily Star ran a report on the incident.
