Violence in Hills: Top accused arrested

A court here yesterday placed Khachu Marma, the prime accused in two cases for killing three people and setting houses afire in Ramgarh in April, on a three-day remand.

Guimara police raided the Guimara Bazar area in Matiranga upazila and picked him up around 4:30pm on Wednesday, said Sub-inspector Manjurul Afsar of Guimara Police Station.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Mohammad Ikhtiarul Islam Mollik granted the remand after the SI, also the investigation officer of the case, prayed for a seven-day remand, court sources said.

Law enforcers filed the cases naming several persons and around 250 unnamed for killing the three and injuring 20 others in an attack on April 17.
