A Dhaka court on Sunday allowed law enforcers to grill in custody for
five days four other suspects of the murder of journalist couple Sagar
Sarowar and Meherun Runi.
The four – Kamrul Hassan Arun, 'Rafique', 'Bakul' and 'Syed' – are also accused for the murder of BMA leader Dr Narayan Chandra Nitai. Arun was Nitai's driver while the rest were dubbed as 'professional robbers' by the police.
Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Keshab Roy Chowdhury approved the remand following Oct 10 petition by RAB's Investigation and Forensic Wing officer Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mohammad Zafar Ullah.
He asked for 10 days to grill them after they were shown arrested for the journalist couple's murder.
On Oct 9, Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir claimed at a press conference to have identified eight persons associated with the killing.
He said one of them, Tanvir, was a family friend of the slain couple. The security guard of the building in which the journalist duo lived, Rudra alias Palash, had also been arrested, he added.
Five of the arrested seven people are also accused in a case filed over the killing of Dr Narayan Chandra Datta Nitai.
The Minister said another person, Humayun alias Enamul, who worked as a security guard in the building Sagar-Runi lived, was also found to be tied to their killing. A Tk 1-million reward for his arrest has been declared.
Maasranga Television News Editor Sagar Sarowar and ATN Bangla's Senior Reporter Meherun Runi were killed at their rented West Rajabazar flat on Feb 11.
