The arrestees are slain Kabul's younger brother Babul Mollah, son of Abdul Gaffar, Bachu Hawladar, son of Abdul Majid, and Munna Khan, son of Montu Khan, of Altiburujbariya village.
During primary interrogation, the detainees confessed their involvement in Kabul's murder, Bagerhat PBI Inspector (Administration) Mohammad Mohsin Uddin said.
Later, according to their information, police recovered an iron rod and a knife used in the murder, he said, adding that they might have committed the murder in a bid to implicate their rivals in false case.

Being informed by locals, police recovered Kabul's body the following day and sent it to the hospital for autopsy.
