PS Matin, also secretary of Forest and Environment Affairs of Dhaka North City Unit of Awami League, had gone into hiding after the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August.
The OC further said he was arrested on a tip off in connection with killing Riaz, a student of Government Ispahani College in Keraniganj.
Riaz had joined the student movement on 19 July. That afternoon, he was shot in the head in front of the Mohammadpur RAB Camp-2. But his family did not get the news. The next day, his family managed to find Riaz's body in the morgue of the Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital.
