The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Sunday arrested former state minister for Water Resources Colonel (Retd) Zahid Faruk Shamim from the city’s Baridhara area.
“We rounded up Zahid Faruk from Baridhara on Sunday evening,” RAB Media & Legal Wing Director Lt Col Munim Ferdous told BSS.
Faruk was wanted in several murder cases with different police stations relating to the violence during the anti-discrimination student movement, he said.
The arrestee has already been handed over to the detective branch (DB) of police, he added.
