Jashore, Jan 09 (V7N) — Tridib Chakraborty Mishu, the primary suspect in the murder of BNP leader Alamgir Hossain, was arrested late on Wednesday night near Bejpara, adjacent to a local temple. He was later presented before the court on Thursday evening, where he confessed to his involvement in the killing.

According to police and court sources, Mishu admitted that the murder was executed using weapons and instructions provided by Alamgir Hossain’s son-in-law, identified as Parash, and a local resident named Sagar, who were the main planners of the crime.

Additional details from Mishu’s confession revealed that on the day of the incident, he was picked up by an individual named Prince on a motorcycle before being introduced to Parash, Sagar, Amir, and several others. During this meeting, Parash supplied Mishu with firearms and money to carry out the attack. Subsequently, Mishu followed Alamgir Hossain on Amir’s motorcycle and shot him, carrying out the murder. He remained at home until his arrest.

Tridib Chakraborty Mishu, 23, is the son of Trinath Chakraborty, a local priest from the Bejpara Chiruni Kal area.

Jashore Detective Branch (DB) Officer-in-Charge Sheikh Mohammad Ali stated that police first identified Mishu through analysis of CCTV footage from the crime scene and surrounding areas. His location was later confirmed using mobile phone tracking technology, which led to his arrest. Upon being handed over to the court, Mishu provided a full confession, acknowledging his direct role in the murder.

Following the confession, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Asadul Islam ordered Mishu to be sent to prison pending further investigation.

The incident occurred on the night of January 3, when armed assailants shot and killed BNP leader Alamgir Hossain in his local area. Alamgir’s wife, Shamima, filed a case against Parash, Sagar, and other unknown individuals. Since the filing, DB police had been actively pursuing the main shooter, culminating in Mishu’s arrest.

Authorities continue to investigate and plan further action against all individuals implicated in the murder, while emphasizing the use of technology and coordinated operations in swiftly apprehending the primary suspect.
