Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested Azharul Sardar in Keraniganj on charges of murdering his stepson, Rakibul. According to RAB, Azharul confessed during preliminary interrogation that he strangled Rakibul out of anger after his wife, Tofura Khatun, divorced him. RAB-10 Commander Additional DIG Mohammad Kamruzzaman said Rakibul went missing on August 14 after leaving for work. Later, Tofura received misleading information from Azharul about her son’s whereabouts. On August 16, she discovered that Rakibul’s body was hidden in Azharul’s rented house. Investigators confirmed that Azharul strangled the boy with a towel before attempting to conceal the body.
