Police held 17-year-old Junel Chakma in Chittagong and 32-year-old Runel Chakma in Khagrachhari on Friday following a case started by Nayan’s brother Deen Islam. Nayan was the organising secretary of Rangamati's Langadu unit of the ruling Awami League's youth front. The suspects disguised themselves as passengers and rode Nayan’s motorbike. The following day, a protest march over his death in Rangamati's Langadu turned violent, leading to attacks on several hundred homes of the local ethnic minority community. The police cited suspects’ plot to hijack the motorbike as the motive behind the death of Nayan.
