All of them served at RAB-11 based in Narayanganj.

They were produced before the court of Narayanganj's Senior Judicial Magistrate Chandni Rupam on Wednesday with the police seeking a 10-day remand.

The court granted eight days' of police custody for questioning, said Narayanganj Districts Lawyers' Association President Md Shakhawat Hossain Khan.

Relatives of Islam and Sarkar filed two separate cases over the incident.

The three ex-RAB officials, arrested earlier, have already issued confessional statements to the court.

Six more RAB-11 personnel have given confessional statements as eyewitnesses of the abduction and killings.
