DR NITAI MURDER

Five suspects arrested

DB claims the physician was killed for resisting burglars

Staff Correspondent
Law enforcers in last two days arrested five suspects in the killing of Dr Narayan Chandra Dutta alias Nitai.
Four of them — Peda Mashud, 25, Saidul, 37, Pichhi Kalam, 26, and Faisal, 30, — were arrested by Detective Branch (DB) personnel from the capital's Mohakhali Sattola Slum and Kamrangirchar area, while members of Rapid Action Battalion picked up Kamrul Islam alias Kamal, 30, from Rajarbagh.
Narayan was stabbed to death at his quarters in the compound of National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital (NIDCH) in Mohakhali early on Thursday.
Police also seized two bloodstained

The DB produced the four arrestees before the newsmen at the Media and Community Centre of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) in the afternoon.
The detectives claimed the murder was a coincident with burglary. The suspects committed the homicide as the physician yelled at them and tried to resist.
Detained Peda Mashud said they were seven in the group. Of them, Kalam, Kamal and he himself were standing outside the building while Faisal, Saidul, Mintu and Masud entered the house by cutting iron bars on a window.
"Mintu, Saidul and Masud had tied up the doctor while I was busy in looting valuables and breaking the almirah. When the doctor tried to resist us, Mintu stabbed him repeatedly," said another detainee Faisal.
When the doctor's mother knocked at the door, they fled
through the window.
Asked about the loot, Faisal said they did not take away anything from Narayan's house.
Both Peda Mashud and Faisal claimed that Mintu and Masud, who have been on the run, masterminded the burglary.
Meanwhile, Commander M Sohail, director of Legal and Media Wing of Rab, said they arrested Kamal who during preliminary interrogation admitted his involvement in the murder.
Sohail said the Rab will hand over Kamal to the DB.
Narayan's father on Thursday afternoon filed a murder case with Banani Police Station accusing unknown criminals.
The following day the case was transferred to the DB.
Contacted, victim's brother-in-law Suraj Chowdhury said they do not believe the homicide was a coincident with burglary.
"There might be somebody else behind the murder. The criminals were hired for committing the crime."
