Intensified actions pursued in response to Gazipur journalist murder: Senior prosecutor
Nine Suspects Arrested in Connection with the Brutal Murder of Journalist Asaduzzaman Tuhin
In a significant development, nine individuals have been identified and arrested in relation to the killing of journalist Asaduzzaman Tuhin in Gazipur last year. Among the suspects are Faisal alias Ketu Mizan, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the murder, his wife Golap, Sumon, Al Amin, Swadhin, Md. Shahjalal, Md. Faisal Hasan, Shahidul, and the most recent arrestee Rafiqul Islam Arman. Six suspects were taken into custody by the police, while three were apprehended by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
One of the arrested suspects, Md. Shahjalal, has confessed to his involvement in the heinous crime, with his confession recorded by the Gazipur Metropolitan Magistrate Court under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Two separate cases have been filed regarding the murder: one by Tuhin’s elder brother and another by the brother of Badsha Mia, a person who was injured during the initial attack.
On August 7, 2025, Tuhin was brutally hacked to death after filming an assault, reportedly capturing armed men assaulting a man. The attackers demanded he delete the video, but after he refused and identified himself as a journalist, they chased and killed him with machetes.
Currently, the suspects remain in custody, and legal proceedings are underway. However, detailed updates on the current status of trials or verdicts have not been reported. Authorities are working diligently to ensure justice is served in this case.
The government has emphasized its commitment to ensuring justice for this inhumane act. Anyone with further information or complaints related to the murder of Asaduzzaman Tuhin is encouraged to come forward. There is no negligence or hesitation in this case, and the government is working towards a stronger law and order situation in the country.
In a separate incident, the attorney general attended a citizens' rally in Baruipara village of Shailkupa and held discussions with members of the Hindu community. The swift identification and arrest of the suspects in the Tuhin murder case underscore the government's commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that no criminal activity goes unpunished.
In the wake of the government's commitment to upholding the rule of law, the arrest of nine suspects in the brutal murder of journalist Asaduzzaman Tuhin marks a significant development in general-news and crime-and-justice sectors. These suspects, including Faisal alias Ketu Mizan, believed to be the mastermind, are currently undergoing legal proceedings for their involvement in this heinous crime.
