Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)-7 has arrested Nazim Uddin, 52, a fugitive accused in the murder case of Jamaat-e-Islami activist Jamal Uddin in Fatikchhari, Chattogram. The arrest took place around 3:45 p.m. on Monday in front of Enayetbazar Mohila College under Kotwali Police Station in Chattogram city. RAB confirmed the arrest on Tuesday, stating that Nazim had been frequently changing locations and blending into crowds to evade capture.

According to the report, Jamal Uddin, a local businessman and Jamaat activist, was shot dead on Saturday evening at Shahnogor Dighir Par area of Lelang Union in Fatikchhari. Three armed men on a motorcycle fired at him from close range, killing him on the spot. Thirteen bullet wounds were found from his head to neck, while another man, Nasir Uddin, was injured and remains under treatment at Chattogram Medical College Hospital.

RAB handed Nazim over to Fatikchhari police after initial questioning. Investigators said the arrest could advance the case, as they are examining whether old rivalries, business disputes, or local political conflicts were behind the killing.
