A team of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has arrested two more close aides of madrasa Principal Siraj Uddoula in a case filed for sexually assaulting Alim examinee Nusrat Jahan Rafi.

Shahadat Hossain Shamim, Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa unit Chhatra League president, was arrested from Muktagachha upazila in Mymensingh while Jabed Hossain, a student of the madrasa, was arrested from Rampur in Feni.

Besides, a PBI team arrested Jabed, who is also the student of the madrasa, from Rampur area in the district town around 9:30pm yesterday, said Md Moniruzzaman, additional superintendent of PBI (Feni).

Earlier, a PBI team arrested Nur Uddin from Mymensingh district on Friday and Moksud Alam, a councillor of Sonagazi Municipality and acting general secretary of Awami League's local unit, and also a member of the governing body of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa, from the capital on Thursday night.

Twelve people have so far been arrested in connection with the arson attack.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NUSRAT?

Nusrat, a student of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa, was set ablaze on April 6 allegedly for refusing to withdraw a case filed against the principal for sexually harassing her late last month.

Only a few minutes before the Alim exams on April 6, four unidentified people allegedly took Nusrat to the roof of the three-storey administrative building of the madrasa saying one of her friends was being assaulted there, victim's brother Mahmudul Hasan Noman had told this newspaper earlier.

She lost her battle for life on April 10, five days after she was set afire -- an incident that sparked outrage all over the country.
