The police arrested two more people, including the supposed main, in relation to the robbery and molesting of passengers in a moving bus along the Dhaka-Tangail highway.
The arrests were made during the raids held in different locations Monday night. With these last arrests, now five people were detained in connection with the bus robbery.
MD Mizanur Rahman, a superintendent of police (SP) in Tangail, shared these details during a press briefing at his office today.
Among those arrested, MD Alamgir (34 years old) was caught in Purbadhala, Netrokona district, while his younger brother, MD Rajib (21 years old), was arrested in Ashulia, Dhaka.
The police said MD Alamgir is the leader of the robbery.
During the arrests, the authorities recovered 4,200 TK in cash and two silver rings in Alamgir. In addition, 10 mobile phones, several bracelets, three bags and two knives used in the robbery were confiscated from Rajib.
Last Friday, the detective Police of Tangail arrested three suspects from Savar in connection with the robbery. Among them, MD Sabuj (30 years old) and Sharifuzzaman Alias ​​Sharif (28 years old) provided confessional statements to a local court on Saturday, admitting their involvement in crime.
The third arrested, Shahid Islam Muhit (29 years old), was placed in a five-day re-examination.
During the press briefing, SP said that based on the information provided by Muhit during his detention, the robbery, Alamgir and his younger brother, Rajib, were later arrested.
