Railway police in Bhairab, Kishoreganj, have arrested Meraj Mia, 25, the prime suspect in the murder of college student Abu Sufian, also known as Shah Alam, aged 17. The arrest took place late Sunday night, February 1, during raids in different parts of the upazila. Meraj, a known mugger with 14 prior cases, and his associate Ibrahim, 24, were detained in connection with the killing near Bhairab Railway Junction.
According to the case statement and police sources, Sufian had boarded the intercity Egarsindhur Express from Dhaka’s Kamalapur station on January 29 to attend a family event in Kishoreganj. When he failed to reach home, his family grew worried, and his phone was found switched off. Around 2 a.m., police recovered his bloodied body beside the railway tracks near Bhairab’s Newtown area. The Police Bureau of Investigation later confirmed his identity through fingerprint analysis.
Police recovered Sufian’s mobile phone from the suspects and believe he was killed during a mugging attempt. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend others involved in the incident.
