The two ex-RAB officers — Lt Col Tarek Sayeed Mohammad and Major Arif Hossain — have been shown arrested in the Narayanganj seven murder case.
The former RAB officers were also placed on a fresh eight-day remand in two murder cases — one filed over the murder of seven people and another for the murder of lawyer Chandan Sarkar.
Senior Judicial Magistrate KM Mohiuddin passed the order on Thursday afternoon.
Investigation Officer Md Mamunur Rashid produced them before the court showing them arrested in two murder cases and sought 10 days remand for interrogation.
The two sacked RAB officers were arrested from Dhaka Cantonment on May 17, for their alleged involvement in the abduction and killing of seven people in Narayanganj.
Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam and lawyer Chandan Sarkar along with five others were killed and their bodies were dumped into River Shitalakkhya after they were abducted on April 27.
The family members of Nazrul alleged that RAB 11 Commanding Officer Lt Col Tareq Sayeed Mohammad and two other RAB 11 officials – Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander SM Masud Rana – killed all the seven persons for Tk6 crore.
On April 28, the authorities concerned had withdrawn all the three RAB-11 officials along with the Narayanganj superintendent of police and the deputy commissioner.
Following the allegations, the AFD sent Lt Col Tareq Sayeed Mohammad and Major Rana on premature retirement from the Army and Lt Commander SM Masud Rana on forced retirement from the Navy.
