Lieutenant colonel Sarwar Bin Kashem, director, legal and media wing of RAB, said they detained the two from Chauddagram upazila around 5:00am “on specific allegation”.

A local representative, seeking anonymity, said Samrat had taken shelter in the house of transport businessman Monir Hossain at Kunja Sreepur village in Alkara union of the upazila.
