Nur Hossain's driver arrested

Police have arrested the driver of Nur Hossain from Comilla's Chandina.

Hossain, the prime suspect of the Naraynganj multiple murders, was arrested in Kolkata on Jun 15.

Chandina Police Station OC Golam Morshed said that the driver Jubayer Hossain Juber, was arrested from his in-law's house at Delashabar village early on Wednesday.

He said that locals informed them of a person from Narayanganj living in that house for quite some time now and that he never went out.

That led police to raid the house.

Seven men, including Narayanganj City Councillor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Kumar, were abducted from the city’s Adalatparha on Apr 27.

Their decomposed bodies were recovered from Narayanganj’s Shitalakhyya River two days later.

The slain councillor's relatives filed a case over the murders accusing Hossain.

Juber has been absconding since the case was lodged.

Nur Hossain, who rose from being a transport worker to a city councillor, had set up a booming illegal sand trade on the banks of Shitalakhyya.

Nazrul Islam, also an Awami League leader like Nur Hossain, was his arch-rival in Narayanganj.
