As many as 39 people were sued on Saturday in a case filed in connection with the murder of Shariatpur district unit Awami League leader Abdul Mannan Sarder.
Police have so far arrested four for their alleged involvement in the killing.
Mannan, Organising Secretary of Shariatpur municipal unit of the AL, was killed in an attack by assailants at his residence in the district town on Thursday night. The attack also left at least 15 others including his wife Farida Begum and son injured as they tried to resist the assault.
Begum lodged the murder case with the Palong Police Station accusing 39 people including Shariatpur Bus Workers Union President Faruk Chawkider and General Secretary Elim Pahar.
Officer-in-Charge of the police station Rabiul Alam told reporters that they arrested four accused for their alleged involvement in the murder.
They are Dulal Pahar, Noor Mohammad Pahar, Noor Islam Pahar and Sujon Pahar.
The slain leader's wife told reporters that some local extortionists might have commited the murder since they had been demanding money from her husband but he had refused to pay.
Tension was running high in the area on Saturday, a day after the killing. Additional policemen have been deployed in the area to prevent any unpleasant incident.
