[Dhaka Tribune] Leaders of the ruling Awami League and its associate bodies as well as family members of Arju Mia yesterday demanded punishment of the RAB personnel who had killed the Hazaribagh unit Chhatra League ... the student wing of the Bangla Awami League ... president early Tuesday. They also alleged that the elite force members had taken bribes to release Arju, but killed him in a pre-planned manner.
"The elite force members picked him up from Hazaribagh Park area around 5pm on Monday. But they denied having incarcerated Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! Arju when enquired," Sadek Hamid Saju, Hazaribagh unit Awami League general secretary, said at a presser at Dhaka Reporters' Unity auditorium in the afternoon. Leaders of the Hazaribagh unit Awami League, Jubo League ... the youth wing of the Bangla Awami League... and Chhatra League were also present at that time. Claiming that RAB members were bribed, Saju said that such "crossfire" incidents had tarnished the image of the police's elite force as well as the government.

"The officers picked up my brother without any reason and killed him in a planned way. Later they staged an encounter drama," Masud alleged.
Masud Rana on Tuesday threatened Raja's family members with dire consequences at Dhaka Medical College morgue, saying that his brother could not be killed "centring such a minor issue. Someone must have misled the elite force to achieve their political gains."
