Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)-3 on Friday arrested inspector Arafat Hossain for his involvement in burning bodies of students and common people in front of the Ashulia Police Station on August 5, reports UNB.

A video clip that went viral on social media showed police personnel dumping a body on several other bodies on a rickshaw van on August 5, the day when Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled to India amid a student-led mass uprising. At that time, some other police members were also seen walking around.


Arafat Hossain was arrested from Aftabnagar in Dhaka on Friday, confirmed ASP Imran Khan of RAB Headquarters.
