Six people have been held in this case so far. Two were shown arrested, who, according to police, confessed killing Mitu before a Chittagong court.

So far, what police said is Wasim, one of the detainees who was shown arrested, was one of the three people who attacked Mitu.

On June 5, three assailants stabbed and shot Mitu dead when she was taking her son to his school bus stop at GEC intersection in the port city.

She was the wife of SP Babul Akter, a cop who spent most of his time curbing militancy. But now, there has been a whisper of his involvement in the murder.
