Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested Mamunur Rashid Mamun, an accused in the Deepto TV journalist Tamim murder case.

A team of RAB-3 arrested him from Hatirjheel in the capital on Sunday (December 22), says a press release sent by RAB.

It said, "Rab has arrested Mamunur Rashid Mamun, one of the accused in the case filed over the murder of Tanjil Jahan Islam alias Tamim, a broadcast officer of private television channel Deepto TV."

The law enforcement agencies have not yet been able to identify the whereabouts of the two main accused in this case. They are Mamun, the temporarily suspended deputy director of the Department of Narcotics Control, and Sheikh Rabiul Alam Robi, a member of the BNP central executive committee. Mamun is the number one accused and BNP leader Robi is the number three accused in the case.

Tanzil Hasan Tamim was beaten to death on the morning of October 10 due to a dispute over the ownership of a flat. The same day, the victim's father filed a case with Hatirjheel Police Station.
