Killing of Cops
Suspect handed over to police in Manda


Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) handed over arrested outlaw Firoz alias Farhad, a suspect in the recent murder of four policemen and a Jubo Dal leader in Naogaon, to Manda police yesterday.

Acting on a tip-off, Rab-5 personnel arrested Firoz, a cadre of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Lal Pataka) at Bagorgram village in Birampur upazila of Dinajpur district at dawn on Thursday.

They brought him to Rangpur Rab office and interrogated him for 12 hours, Rab sources said.

During interrogation, Firoz admitted to his involvement in the killings. He left Naogaon for Dinajpur immediately after the incident, the sources added.

On August 25, the PBCP cadres shot and slaughtered four police men and a Jubo Dal leader at Choubaria Bazar in Manda upazila of Naogaon district.
