Police arrested the car driver of Nur Hossain, the prime accused in Narayanganj seven-murder case, from a village in Chandina upazila early Wednesday.
The arrestee was identified as Zubayer Hossain, 33.
Tipped off, a team of police conducted a drive at the house of Abdur Razzak, father-in-law of Zubayer, at Belashwar village in the upazila around 3am and arrested Zubayer from the house, said Mohammad Ayub, inspector (investigation) of Chandina Police Station.
Zubayer Hossain took shelter at the house to avoid police arrest after the Narayanganj seven-murder incident on April 27.
