Mizanur Rahman was arrested from Patuakhali, in southern Bangladesh, on Saturday, the case's investigation officer said.

DB Inspector Mamunur Rashid Mandal said Rahman was brought to Narayanganj the same night.

Seven men, including Narayanganj councillor Nazrul Islam and lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarkar, were abducted on Apr 27. Their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakhyya River several days later.

A case was filed after the abduction naming local Awami League leader Nur Hossain as the prime suspect.

Although Hossain refuted the allegations, he went into hiding after the bodies were recovered.

West Bengal police on June 14 arrested him from a Kolkata apartment.

Several of Hossain's associates and three former RAB officers have been arrested in the case.
