RAB arrests 10 people linked to killing in mob beating

The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has claimed a floor manager handed Dipu Chandra Das over to an enraged crowd after forcing him to resign from his job, reports bdnews24.com.
Dipu, 28, who worked at a Bhaluka-based readymade garment factory named Pioneer Knitwears BD Ltd, was beaten to death by a mob on Thursday in Mymensingh. His body, hung from a tree branch, was also set on fire later.
On Saturday, the RAB held a press conference to announce the arrest of 10 people in connection with Dipu's murder.
RAB-14 Director Naimul Hassan said the floor manager Alamgir Hossain, 38, has been arrested, alongside Miraz Hossain Akon, 46, a quality manager of the same factory.
The murder of Dipu occurred in Bhaluka's Jamirdiya.
Dipu's ancestral home is in Tarakanda. He had been working at the readymade garment factory for two years. A case has been filed by Dipu's brother over the murder against unidentified people.
The RAB has arrested seven and police three in connection with the murder case.
"Investigators are trying to find answers to why he was handed over to the crowd and police were not called. Previous enmity could be a motive here or the pressure from the crowd," Naimul said. The eight other suspects arrested in the case are Tarek Hossain, Limon Sarker, Manik Miah, Ershad Ali, Nijhum Uddin, Azmal Hasan Sagir, Shahin Miah and Md Nazmul.
