Her body, with the throat slit, was recovered two days later from Mitali Road flat in Hazaribagh.
A murder case was filed by Tania's brother, Md Tonmoy Hasan.
After analysing CCTV footage and mobile conversation, police began to suspect the security official.
On 12 February, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) sent a letter to take the alleged suspect into custody for investigation.
According to close associates of Tania, she lived with her family in Dhaka, and her husband used to live in Cumilla.
However, Tania formed a close relationship with the suspect and wanted to marry him, a few of her friends told Prothom Alo.
He was seen leaving her house shortly after the time of the murder, and police found evidence that he had taken Tania's phone, money, house keys, and other important items with him.
