RAB has uncovered the motive behind the murder of housewife Kulsum Akter Kajol, wife of a Kuwait expatriate, in Fulgazi, Feni. The main suspect, her distant nephew Md. Ariful Islam, aged 31, was arrested from Uttar Dharmapur area on Monday, June 29, 2026. According to RAB, Arif entered the victim’s home by cutting through the tin roof intending to commit robbery to repay a loan. When Kajol saw him, a scuffle ensued, during which he attacked her with a sharp weapon, causing fatal injuries.

Local residents heard Kajol’s groaning after dawn prayers and gathered at the house, prompting Arif to flee through the back door. RAB officials revealed the arrest and confession during a press briefing at the Feni RAB office at noon on June 29. The victim’s father had earlier filed a case with Fulgazi Police Station under sections 457/302/34 of the Penal Code.

RAB stated that legal proceedings against the accused are underway following his confession and the completion of initial interrogation.
