Death row inmate who escaped prison arrested in Narayanganj

Abu Mokaram (44), a death row inmate in a murder case who escaped from Kashimpur High-Security Central Jail in Gazipur, has been arrested by Special Response Battalion (SRB)-11 in Sonargaon, Narayanganj. He was arrested on Tuesday night from the Meghna Toll Plaza area in Sonargaon.

SRB-11 Commander Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Masud Parvez stated that a court sentenced Abu Mokaram to death in 2013 over a 2009 murder case. He escaped on August 6, 2024, taking advantage of prisoner riots at Kashimpur Jail. After hiding in various places by concealing his identity, he was arrested with the help of information technology.

Due to family enmity, Abu Mokaram and other accused had killed his sister's aunt-in-law and dumped her body in a paddy field near the house. He was sentenced to death by the court in that case.
