Former Rab official Tareque Sayed Mohammad, one of the accused in Narayanganj seven-murder case, was sent to Dhaka Central Jail from Narayanganj District Jail on Thursday.
A prison van carrying Tareque left the local jail for the Dhaka Central Jail around 10am today, Narayanganj jail official Mintu Mia told UNB.
Tareque in his confessional statement before a Narayanganj court on Wednesday reportedly admitted that he was involved in the abductions and killings of seven people here.
He was taken to the district jail and kept in a separate cell later.
Earlier, former Rab officers Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander MM Rana confessed to their involvement in the sensational seven murders.
On April 27, Nazrul Islam and his three associates and driver were abducted from Fatullah area in Narayanganj city. Hours into their abduction, senior lawyer of the Narayanganj District Judge’s Court, Chandan Kumar Sarker, and his driver were abducted on their way to capital Dhaka.

Following the seven murders, Shahidul Islam alias Shahid chairman, father-in-law of slain Nazrul Islam, alleged that some Rab men killed Nazrul in exchange of Tk 6 crore from city councillor Nur Hossain and other suspects.
