Police have already filed a case over the attack, which left one RAB member dead and three others critically injured. The assault took place last Monday, while the case was filed two days later, on Wednesday night.
Earlier, three other suspects—Yunus Ali, Jahid Hossain, and Mohammad Arif—were arrested in early-morning drives on Thursday, a day after the case was filed.
Legal proceedings against Kala Bachchu are underway, Mohammad Russel said, adding that drives are continuing to arrest the remaining suspects involved in the incident.
