Police have arrested four suspects in connection with a fire and cocktail-throwing attack at the home of Dhaka University’s DUCSU independent member Umma Uswatun Rafia in Mymensingh.

The arrested are Md. Masud Rana, 45, from Kewatkhali, Md. Arif, 30, from Boardghor, Bipul, 21, and Md. Rajon, 19, from Wireless Gate.
