A fugitive accused in the murder case of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif has been arrested in Chattogram. Police detained Lala, also known as Lala Methor, aged 43, on Monday, April 20, from the Bundel Road area under Kotwali Police Station. According to the station’s officer-in-charge, the arrest was made with the help of information technology, and the suspect was later produced before the court. Authorities confirmed that special operations are continuing to capture the remaining fugitives.
With this arrest, the total number of detained suspects in the case has reached 26, while 13 others remain at large. The charge sheet lists 39 accused, including Chinmoy Krishna Das. The case is currently in the witness examination stage, with the next hearing scheduled for April 29.
