Sub-Inspector (SI) Akbar Hossain Bhuiyan was apprehended on November 9 at the Dona border in the northeastern district’s Kanaighat upazila, say police. Thirty-four-year-old Rayhan, who lived in the city’s Akharia neighbourhood, was beaten to death on October 11 at the Bandar Bazar police outpost, according to a case filed by the family. Police denied the allegation and said Rayhan had been caught by locals while he was engaged in a mugging and was lynched. Earlier at midnight on October 12, Rayhan’s wife Tahmina Akhter Tanni filed the case with Kotwali Police Station. The case had been transferred to the PBI in light of demands from the family, police said.
