In connection with the murder of former Swechchhasebak Dal leader Billal Hossain Talukdar in Dhaka's Mouchak, police have detained two suspects.
Al Amin, the convener of Ward No. 19 Jubo Dal, and Riaz, an activist from the same ward unit, have been arrested.
Sheikh Zahidul Islam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Ramna Division), said on Tuesday that the two suspects were detained in relation to the murder from Munshiganj and Dhaka.
“Based on secret information, police conducted special drives on Tuesday night and arrested them,” he said.
The ex-Swechchhasebak Dal leader was killed on Monday at the parking area of Anarkali Super Market beside Siddheshwari Boys’ School.
Billal, a former convener of Ramna Thana Swechchhasebak Dal, was a businessman engaged in cement and sand trade.
According to police, preliminary findings suggest that the murder stemmed from a longstanding rivalry over control of footpaths, extortion and local influence in the area.
Further legal proceedings are underway.
