Earlier on the day, the law enforcers arrested Dipanjan and his parents in the case filed by Priya's father Sukumar Saha Sadhu, said Aminur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Manikganj Police Station.

Priya, 20, a second year honours student of Government Devendra College, was murdered on Wednesday allegedly after rape at her husband's rented house in Manikganj municipality, said locals and family sources.
