The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested Saim, the prime accused in the widely discussed Munna murder case in Bogura. The arrest was made during a joint operation by RAB-12 Bogura and RAB-1 Uttara, Dhaka. The development was confirmed at a press briefing held at the RAB-12 Bogura camp on Thursday night, March 26, 2026, by Squadron Leader Firoz Ahmed, the company commander.

According to RAB, Saim, aged 36, is the son of the late Azizur Rahman from Shaharpukur area of Fapore Union in Bogura Sadar. The victim, Ariful Islam Munna, aged 43, was from the same union’s Khandkarpara area. Preliminary investigation revealed that both men were involved in drug trading and had disputes over drug transactions. Munna had also filed a cheque fraud case against Saim months earlier, which is still under trial.

RAB reported that Saim attacked Munna with a sharp Burmese knife on March 23, leading to Munna’s death the next morning. After remaining fugitive, Saim was captured in Dhaka’s Turag area and handed over to Bogura Sadar Police for legal proceedings.
