Mobarak Hossain Imon, an associate of fugitive Sajjad Ali Khan alias Boro Sajjad, was arrested from a hotel in Dhaka’s Gulshan area on Monday night. The arrest took place around 10:30 p.m. at room 91 of Amari Dhaka, confirmed Chattogram Police Commissioner Hasan Md. Shawkat Ali. Intelligence officials said Imon had been under surveillance for a long time, and his social media activity led to his capture.

According to police, Imon, son of Md. Musa from Kanchannagar in Fatikchhari, is accused in at least seven cases, including a double murder in Baklia on March 30, 2025, and the killing of terrorist Dhakaiya Akbar at Patenga beach on May 23 of the same year. He is known to have handled 15–20 firearms and is considered skilled in weapon use.

Police sources said Imon currently leads Sajjad’s criminal network in Chattogram along with Mohammad Raihan, as former leader Chhoto Sajjad is in jail. The group reportedly includes around 50 shooters and associates who extort money through threats, though police had struggled to locate them until now.
