The former JP lawmaker was arrested in Bogra yesterday over suspicion in the murder of Gaibandha-1 lawmaker from the ruling Awami League, Liton.
The arrest was made within a day after the inspector general of police claimed that Liton's killers had been identified.

Later, Liton's sister Tahmida Akhter Kakoli filed the case with Sundarganj Police Station against four to five unknown people.
