The accused, who are involved with the murder of dentist Ahmed Mahi Bulbul in Mirpur, are professional snatchers.
Additional Commissioner of Detective Police Hafiz Akhtar said it in a press conference at the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Media Center on Wednesday afternoon (March 30th).
He said that the four arrested persons were professional snatchers, but there were a total of five members in their team.
They stabbed Bulbul while trying to snatch him, and there is no dispute with the contracting business of that doctor.
Bulbul was stabbed near Pillar No. 278 of Metrorail in Shewrapara around 5:30 am on Sunday. Pedestrians first took him to Al Helal Hospital in the area. But as there was no treatment, he was taken to Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. He later died there.
Bulbul used to see patients regularly in a chamber called ‘Rangpur Dental’ in Moghbazar as a dentist. He also ran a contracting company called ‘Messrs Rangpur Traders’ for the last five years.
Meanwhile, police arrested four people in connection with the murder of dentist Bulbul. They were identified as Raihan (27), Russell (25), Arian (23) and Solaiman (23). Mobile phones and knives were recovered from them.
DB’s Additional Commissioner said that police had earlier arrested Raihan and Russell on charges of kidnapping in the city. A few days ago, they were released on bail and again involved in snatching.
It is mentionable that snatching and kidnapping incidents are going on across the capital regularly. As indicatives, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has decided to launch a special operation against the snatchers and the Agyan party.
When Ramadan and Eid are smelling flavor, members of the snatching and Agyan party are active. The DMP commissioner has already given instructions on the issue. We are going to start a special program (campaign) to arrest them, Additional Commissioner AKM Hafiz Akhter said.
