Rifat's wife Minni held over his murder

BARGUNA, July 16 (UNB): Aysha Siddika Minni was arrested on Tuesday over the killing of her husband Rifat Sharif.

Barugna police superintendent Maruf Hossain made the announcement in the evening, hours after taking in Minni for interrogation in the murder case.

Rifat was killed after a broad daylight attack in front of Barguna Government College on June 26.

Minni, his wife, was seen trying to protect her husband during the attack. She was also named as the number one witness in the case.

However, Rifat's father Dulal Sharif later demanded Minni's arrest alleging that she had a part in the murder.
