Rifat Farazi, son of a certain Dulal Farazi of Dhansiri area in the municipality, is one of the main accused in the sensational murder case.

Senior judicial magistrate of Barguna, Md Sirajul Islam Gazi, passed the order when Md Humayun Kabir, sadar police station Inspector and the investigation officer of the case, sought a 10-day remand for interrogating him.

In the early hours of the day, a police team arrested Rifat Farazi from the municipality area.

The main accused, Sabbir Ahmed alias Nayan Bond, was killed in a reported gunfight with police in the Sadar upazila on Tuesday.

Nine people, including six accused mentioned in the FIR, have so far been arrested in this connection.
