The police also said Asadul Haque, whom the Rapid Action Battalion arrested in a case over the attack, was not involved in the incident in Dinajpur. Debdas Bhattacharya, deputy inspector general of police in Rangpur Range, revealed the arrest of the fired Upazila Parishad gardener, Rabiul Islam, at a media briefing on Saturday. The police arrested Rabiul and recovered the hammer from the Upazila Parishad’s pond on Friday night, the DIG said. A Ghoraghat Upazila council official said Rabiul was suspended on allegations that he stole money. The police, however, did not say the attack on UNO Wahida was inspired by revenge.
