They are Kazi Rezaul Haque Babu alias Gym Babu, 28, joint general secretary of Paltan Chhatra Dal, Leon Haque, 30, joint convenor of Paltan Juba Dal, and Md Azad, 28, a Juba Dal activist. The law enforcers apprehended them on Saturday after identifying them from security camera footage, said AKM Hafiz Akter, additional commissioner of Dhaka MetropolitanPolice’s Detective Branch. Police were trying to catch another Juba Dal activist, ‘Imtiaz’, over the attack. One of the at least nine buses torched during the Nov 12 by-election to Dhaka-18 was set on fire at Paltan. The DMP’s Additional DC Hafiz said Babu, Leon and Azad torched the bus after leaving a procession taken out by the BNP.
