Four policemen and their two accomplices were arrested Saturday for their involvement in the robbing of a jeweller of 221 tolas of gold in June this year.
The arrestees are constables Wasim Hussain, Shahnawaz Shumon, Raju Ahmed, Ghulam Rabbani and Ataur Rahman of Shakhabari and Daulat Jahan of Thengamara Dakkhinpara of the district.
District Officer-in-Charge of Detective Branch of Police Motiar Rahman said, "Around 4:45am on June 24, the perpetrators, three in uniform, forced jeweller Raihan Ali Bepari off a bus and into a CNG-run auto-rickshaw in Raiganj. He was travelling to Bogra and the bus stopped at Highway Villa restaurant for a journey pause."
"The arrestees then took the gold, mobile phone and Tk 10,000 from him and left him in Sherpur area," he added.
Raihan of Bogra had been trying to identify his assaulters since then.
An unusually large donation of Tk 50,000 to a mosque in his native village by Wasim Hussain and his buying of a new motorcycle worth Tk 1.5 lakh led Raihan to have suspicion.
The victim subsequently filed a case with Raiganj Police Station on August 12.
Police then arrested Wasim from Sirajganj Police Lines and he revealed the names of his accomplices in a confessional statement during interrogation.
"Sub-Inspector Rakibul Hasan has been made the investigating officer for the case. We have already gathered some valuable information from the arrestees and will have more if they are placed in remand," said the DB OC.
