Muhammad Idris: RAB and police have arrested **three more** people in a counter-incident to the Shipon and Yasin murder case in Nabinagar, Brahmanbaria. They were arrested in a joint operation on Wednesday, November 19th. The three arrested are – Atiqur Rahman Hridoy (28) of Barikandi village, Simon (20) of Nurjahanpur, and Bablu Mia (20) of Thollakandir. According to RAB and police information, there has been tension between the Rifat of Thollakandir and the Shipon group of Nurjahanpur over the dominance of the drug trade in the Ganishah Mazar area of Barikandi union for a long time. On the night of November 1st, due to that dispute, Shipon and Yasin were shot in an attack led by Rifat. Both died later while undergoing treatment. The next day, supporters of Shipon’s father, the notorious Manek Dakat, attacked and vandalized the office of Emran Master of Thollakandir and seriously injured him by shooting him. Additional Superintendent of Police Md. Nur Nabi, commander of CPC-1 Brahmanbaria of RAB-9, said that two separate cases have been filed in Nabinagar regarding the clash and murder. Earlier, RAB arrested two people with weapons in the murder case and the police arrested two more, taking the total number of people detained to four. A total of seven people, including the three arrested in the counter-attack case on Wednesday, are now in police custody. Officer-in-charge of Nabinagar Police Station Shahinur Islam said that the arrested people were sent to court on Thursday.
