Dhaka, July 16: The police have arrested Alauddin (35), who was sentenced to life in the sensational Biswajit murder case, from Shivganj in Bogra. He has been absconding since Biswajit's murder in 2012. He was arrested early on Friday (July 15) from his father-in-law's house near the upazila market.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Shibganj Police Station Deepak Kumar Das said that Alauddin was arrested from the house of Kazi Nurul Islam in that area based on secret information.
