The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested three main suspects in connection with the murder of pharmacy owner and mobile financial agent Khokon Das, aged 50, in Shariatpur. Acting on information from RAB-8 and the Intelligence Wing in Dhaka, a RAB-14 team from Kishoreganj Camp, led by ASP Shahjahan, detained the named accused—Sohag, Rabbi, and Palash—from Bajitpur area around 1 a.m. on Saturday night.
According to Shariatpur Superintendent of Police Rownak Jahan, the victim had identified the attackers before his death. On the night of December 31, 2025, Khokon Das was returning home after closing his pharmacy at Keherbhanga Bazar when several assailants attacked him with sharp weapons near Tiloi area, robbing him of cash. When he recognized some attackers, they poured petrol on him and set him on fire. Locals rescued him and took him to Shariatpur Sadar Hospital, from where he was transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he later died.
Police said the arrested suspects were locally known as miscreants and drug users.
