Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police (DB) have arrested four suspects in connection with a murder in the capital’s Adabor area following a minor dispute. The arrests were made within a day of the incident through analysis of CCTV footage, technology-based tracking, and intelligence operations. The detainees—Ripon, Nirab, Majnu Mia, and Mizanur Rahman—were captured in a raid at Sahebnagar in Mymensingh’s Ishwarganj upazila. Police also recovered a switch-gear knife allegedly used in the killing.

According to investigators, the conflict began on June 29 during a World Cup football match between Brazil and Japan, when an argument broke out over whistle blowing. The tension escalated over the following days, leading to a mediation meeting on July 1 at Adabor’s Nabodoy Housing area. The meeting turned violent, leaving local BNP leaders Abul Bashar and Saddam Hossain critically injured. Bashar later died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, while Saddam remains under treatment.

Authorities said multiple law enforcement agencies are continuing operations to identify and arrest others involved. Additional police have been deployed in the area to maintain order.
