RAB's intelligence wing Director Ziaul Ahsan told bdnews24.com about the request. “We hope we will get the permission very soon,” he said.

All the seven arrested in the case were detained by the elite force.

Milki, an Organising Secretary of the Dhaka Metropolitan (south) unit, was shot in the head in the early hours of Tuesday in front of a Gulshan shopping centre.

A closed-circuit camera in the shopping mall captured the incident. Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) identified Zahid Siddique Tarek, another Organising Secretary of the Awami League’ youth front as the killer from the video footage and arrested him within hours of the killing.

Brother of the victim Major Rashidul Haque Khan filed a case with Gulshan police on Tuesday night naming 11, including Tarek, for the murder.

Juba League has already expelled the Dhaka Metropolitan (South) Joint Secretary Tarek and Dhaka Metropolitan (north) Organising Secretary Sakhawat Hossain Chanchal over the incident.
