RAB-2 arrested two suspects over the death of schoolteacher Ronjina Parvin, who fell from a rickshaw during an alleged snatching near the South Plaza of the National Parliament Building in Dhaka. The force identified the detainees as Md. Mosharraf Hossain Poni and his associate Cedric, and said it recovered a Yamaha R-15 motorcycle allegedly used in the incident. The arrests were announced on Sunday afternoon at RAB-2 headquarters in Mohammadpur.

RAB said intelligence and technology-based information led officers to the East Tejturi Bazar area under Tejgaon police station, where Poni, also known as Para Poni, Cedric and a motorcycle were detained. It said the motorcycle’s owner, Rakib, told investigators the vehicle was in Poni’s custody on the day of the incident. RAB also claimed Ronjina’s husband, Abdul Matin, identified the recovered bike as the one used in the snatching.

Questions emerged because CCTV footage showed two people on a blue motorcycle, while the motorcycle pictured by RAB appeared black and white. Poni denied involvement, citing the colour discrepancy. RAB said he was arrested as a suspect, not as the principal accused, and would be questioned with court permission.
