Following the rape and murder of the madrasa student, his father filed a murder case against three people with the Chowkbazar police station on 16 March. The police arrested two of the accused, but Ridwanul had been absconding.
The madrasa authorities tried to frame the rape-murder as a suicide, but the post-mortem report revealed that the child was killed after being raped, Nurul Abser added.
RAB-7 was investigating the case along with the police. Ridwanul has been handed over to the police for further legal action, said the RAB-7 senior assistant director.
