A man named Chayedul Islam, aged 40, was arrested by RAB-1 within 24 hours for allegedly killing his wife Nasima Akter, a garment worker, in Gazipur’s Sreepur area. The arrest was announced at a press conference held at the RAB Media Center in Karwan Bazar on July 14, 2026. According to RAB, the incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on July 13, when Chayedul, reportedly a drug addict, stabbed his wife to death after she refused to give him money for drugs.

RAB stated that Nasima, 27, was the daughter of Abdul Mannan from Netrokona’s Purbadhala area, while Chayedul hailed from Mymensingh’s Tarakanda. The couple lived in a rented home in Sreepur with their two children. Nasima had recently received her salary from a local garment factory, and when she refused to give her husband 3,000 taka, an argument broke out that led to the fatal attack.

RAB confirmed that the arrested suspect has been handed over to Sreepur Police Station for further legal action.
