Tarek Rahman Robin, a suspect in the grisly murder of a scrap trader outside Old Dhaka's Mitford Hospital, has given a confessional statement in court. On Saturday, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Hasib Ullah Giyas recorded Robin’s confessional statement following a request from the investigating officer Md Monir of Kotwali Police Station. After the court issued a two-day remand order, Robin agreed to give a confessional statement, prompting the investigating officer to request its recording. In the wake of the killing, the BNP expelled five members of its affiliated organisations Jubo Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal for their alleged involvement in the incident. People familiar with them said they could never have imagined such a horrific killing arising from a business dispute.
