Kamal Ahmed Mojumder, former State Minister for Industries under the Awami League government, has been arrested in connection with a murder case related to the anti-quota reform student movement, reports UNB.
According to the police, Majumder, who also owns SS Agro Complex and previously served as the Member of Parliament for Dhaka-15 constituency, was picked up from a residence in Gulshan.
Mojumder had gone into hiding along with other ministers and parliamentarians after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left the country on August 5.
Police said that the former State Minister is facing multiple charges, with several cases already filed against him.
His arrest is linked to the murder case filed with Kafrul Police Station, regarding the killing of a student during the quota reform movement.
Police are going to present him before the court on Saturday, where they will seek remand for further interrogation.
