Bangladesh’s interim government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus said that seven people have been arrested in connection with the killing of 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das in Valuka area of Mymensingh district. He shared the update through a social media post, stating that security forces had moved quickly after the incident.
According to Yunus, teams of the Rapid Action Battalion carried out searches at several locations before detaining the suspects. The arrested persons have been identified as Md Limon Sarkar, aged 19, Md Tarek Hossain, Md Manik Mia, aged 20, Ershad Ali, aged 39, Nijum Uddin, aged 20, Alomgir Hossain, aged 38, and Md Miraj Hossain Akon, aged 46.
Officials said the investigation began soon after the killing of Dipu Chandra Das, who was known to be a follower of Sanatan Dharma. The case has raised concern because it comes at a time when minority communities in Bangladesh have reported rising insecurity. 
Authorities said that further inquiries are underway to establish the full sequence of events that led to the killing. They added that more arrests could be made if additional evidence is found. Police sources said investigators will examine motives, determine whether the incident was planned, and identify others who may have assisted the attackers.
