Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) on Friday arrested the driver of the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) garbage disposal truck from Chandpur.
He was handcuffed over the death of Ahsan Kabir Khan, 48, a printing-press businessman of Moghbazar in the city.
The detainee was identified as Mohammad Hanif, said a press release.
Legal action is being taken against the arrested driver Hanif.
Earlier on Thursday, Kabir, a pillion passenger of a motorcycle, fell on the road opposite Bashundhara shopping mall before being overrun by the speeding truck around 2:30pm.
