The other arrestees are main suspect Mizan alias Ketu Mizan (35), his wife Golapi (25), Md Swadhin (28), Al Amin (21), Shahjalal (32), Md Faisal Hasan (23) and Sumon.
According to the RAB, one of the arrestees, Md Swadhin, has confessed to his direct involvement in the brutal killing.
Earlier, CCTV footage from the incident was used by Gazipur Metropolitan Police to identify several suspects.
Two cases have been filed, one by Tuhin's elder brother, Md Selim, and the other by the brother of Badsha Mia, who was injured in a separate attack shortly before Tuhin's killing.
According to police and witnesses, the fatal attack on Tuhin took place near his office at Masjid Market on 7 August.
The assailants chased Tuhin, when they saw he was recording the attack on Badsha Mia, into a nearby tea shop and hacked him to death before fleeing. While the chase was captured by nearby CCTV cameras, the hacking was not.
Police later recovered Tuhin's body and sent it to Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital for autopsy.
