The 23-year old militant was also involved in the attempt to murder Ahmedur Rashid Tutul, owner of another publishing house Suddhaswar, according to police. The arrested militant is carrying a Tk 200,000 reward for his capture. Police believe the six were involved in the murder of bloggers, secular writers and publishers. Prior to Dipan’s murder on the same day, Ahmedur Rashid Tutul, owner of Suddhaswar, another publishing house, and the secular writers Tarek Rahim and Ranadipam Basu faced a vicious attack at Tutul's Lalmatia office. Both Tutul and Dipan had published books by the secular writer-blogger Avijit Roy, who was hacked to death in February last year.
