The Special Response Battalion (SRB) has arrested three individuals including the prime suspect, Mirza Titu in connection with the murder of Mirza Abdul Latif Abul Mia in Balaganj, Sylhet.

The incident stemmed from a dispute over the repayment of money. The arrests were made during an operation in the Bandar Police Station area of Chittagong.

A joint team from SRB-9 (Sylhet) and SRB-7 (Chittagong) conducted an operation in the Brickfield Road area, under the jurisdiction of Chittagong’s Bandar Police Station on Sunday and apprehended the suspects.

The arrested individuals are Mirza Titu (35), son of the late Mirza Farid from the East Muslimabad area of Balaganj, Sylhet along with Mirza Jeni (38) and Titu’s wife, Salma Begum (25).

According to the SRB, on the night of October 25, around 8:30 PM, the accused attacked Mirza Abdul Latif Abul Mia (65) and his family members in Balaganj using locally-made weapons.

Abul Mia sustained critical injuries during the assault. He was subsequently rushed to the Fenchuganj Upazila Health Complex by relatives and local residents, where the attending physician declared him dead.
