Police in Chattogram yesterday arrested five of a carjacking gang and recovered the car they hijacked the day before.
The arrestees are Jahed Hossain, Mohammad Mohiuddin, Rabbi Hasan Alauddin, Mohammad Shahabuddin and Salauddin Tarek.
The car was recovered from the arrestees in Jungle Salimpur area of Sitakunda, said Jahir Hossain, inspector (investigation) of Double Mooring Police Station.

The gang, posing as passengers, boarded the Dhaka-bound car on Tuesday night in Alangkar area of Chattogram.
Within a few minutes, they attacked and took control of the car from its driver and pushed him off the vehicle near Kadamtali flyover early Wednesday morning, Inspector Jahir said.
Double Mooring police rescued the driver soon afterwards and arrested Jahed in Mobil Factory area of Sitakunda following a brief chase, SI Subir said. Based on information gleaned from him, police arrested others from different parts of Chattogram early yesterday.
