Two held on charge of killing Jessore SSC examinee
Police yesterday arrested two people on charge of killing SSC examinee Masum Reza in Sharsha upazila two weeks ago.
The arrestees are Mafizur Rahman and Abid Hasan Shohag of Raghunathpur village.
Sub Inspector of Sharsha PS Azizur Rahman said the arrestees are among the five charge-sheeted accused in the murder case filed by Masum Reza`s father Rafiqul Islam.
The meritorious student was strangled by criminals on January 24.
Meanwhile, two other accused--Habibullah, son of Abdul Mandal and Babulur Rahman of Shib Bas village, enlarged on bail by the High Court, have returned to the area, sending panic and shock wave in the area.
The victim`s family feared that the release on bail of the prime accused nine days after their arrest might cloud the fate of the case.
They returned to Shib Bas near Raghunathpur immediately after being out on bail, the bereaved family members alleged.
SI Azizur said, being informed, police conducted a drive and arrested Mafiz and Abid from their houses early yesterday.
They were produced before Jessore Senior Judicial Magistrate Javed Imam's court where they gave confessional statement on the killing.
Sharsha Pakshiar High School student Masum Reza was killed by a gang of criminals barely a week before he was supposed to sit for SSC examinations on February 1.
