The SRB has arrested two fugitives accused in the murder case of Jubo Dal leader Badrul Alam in Gowainghat, Sylhet.
They were arrested during separate raids in two areas of Dirai upazila in Sunamganj early Monday.
The arrestees are Mamunur Rashid (36), and Suaibur Rahman Shebu (38), both residents of Goragram village in the upazila.
K M Shahidul Islam Sohel, additional superintendent of police and media officer of SRB-9, confirmed the information.
He said Badrul was attacked in the Goragram area of Bichanakandi Union in the upazila early on October 11. His home was in Hadarpar village in the upazila. He was a former organizing secretary of the Rustumpur Union unit of Chhatra Dal. Badrul was also a businessman.
Police said Badrul Alam had disputes with several people over sand, stone and other business matters. The case statement also mentioned that he had been threatened with death over these disputes.
On the night before the incident, Badrul left home with Sadeq Ali for business purposes. The following morning, while returning home on a motorcycle, he reached the Goragram area, where assailants blocked his way. They then repeatedly struck him with locally made weapons. When Sadeq came forward to save him, he was also beaten.
Local residents later took both men to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared Badrul dead.
Following the incident, Badrul’s brother filed a murder case with Gowainghat Police Station.
Additional Superintendent of Police Shahidul said the SRB launched a covert investigation and intelligence operations to arrest the accused.
Acting on a tip, a joint team of SRB-9 and CPC-3 conducted a raid in the Ushonpur area on Monday night and another in the Nandipur area early Tuesday.
During the operation, the team arrested accused Nos. 4 and 6 named in the murder case.
