Acting on a tip-off, a team of Gabtoli thana police in plain-clothes led by Additional Superintendent of Police of Bogra Md. Arifur Rahman Mondol arrested the accused from different places of Bogra.
Local people alleged that deceased Moazzem Pramanik was a famous gambling leader and money broker of Gabtoli and adjacent area. He used to give loan to the local ruling party leaders. But they were unhappy with Moazzem for not giving money for some days. Family members suspected that it might be the reason of death. But police refused the allegation.
