Sylhet: Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) today arrested a suspected murderer named Siddique Sarkar from Sylhet on charges of murdering Abdul Barek Bepary of Sadar upazila in Narsingdi four days ago. The elite anti-crime force said their RAB-11 and RAB-9 units, which cover the Narsingdi and Sylhet regions, arrested the suspect under a coordinated campaign.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, RAB-11 commander and police's additional superintendent M Mohid Kabir Serniabat stated that the personnel of his unit arrested the suspect in a joint operation with RAB-9 members from Bagbari Etim School Road area under Kotwali Police Station at 10:30 am. On November 15, a group of six people, including Sarkar and more unidentified individuals, strangulated to death 75-year-old Barek Bepary over a land-related feud and then fled the scene.
Bepary's son, Noor Mohammad, filed a case with Narsingdi Sadar Police Station against six named and other unnamed individuals. The RAB handed Siddique over to police for subsequent legal procedure.
