On a tip-off, a police team of Badda P.S., led by Assistant Commissioner of detective branch Sanwar Hossain, conducted a drive at a house at Badda and arrested Panchu Kalu, one of the close associates of dacoit Shahid.
Following his confessional statement, they arrested Shanto, Suman, Jamal and Liton from an under-construction building at Swamibagh in the city Tuesday night. The plainclothes police also recovered 15 bombs and bomb making materials from their possession.
