"Asadul was handed over to us at around 3:30 am on Sunday. We interrogated him after admitting him in a hospital. Asadul will be produced before the court between 3 pm to 4 pm," he said.
On Saturday, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-13) handed over Asadul to Ghoraghat Police Station. He was then handed over to DB police.
A joint team of police and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Asadul Islam on Friday.
Earlier, on Saturday, a Dinajpur court granted a seven-day remand for other two arrestees – Nabirul Islam and Santu Kumar – accused of the attack.
OC Imam Jafar said, "They will be interrogated at a convenient time."
The victim's elder brother Sheikh Farid Uddin filed a case at around 11:30 pm on Thursday against four to five unknown persons with Ghoraghat Police Station over the incident.
