A couple, Nazim and Rupa, lost their money bag after coming to Kamalapur in the capital from Rangpur. Both of them are under 25 years old. Seeing their helplessness, former Vice Principal of Habibullah Bahar College, Mohammad Saifur Rahman Bhuiyan, extended a helping hand. He took the two to a rented house in Uttarkhan, promising them jobs at his house. Despite promising jobs, Saifur Rahman's intention was to sexually assault the woman. Whenever he got the chance, Saifur Rahman would send the young man out and touch his wife's sensitive areas.
Finally, when he tried to rape the young woman last Sunday night, her husband protested, and a scuffle ensued. At one point, the couple cut Saifur Rahman into pieces and fled. Later, the couple was arrested from the Faridpur Railway Station area on March 11.
The arrested couple is: Md. Nazim Hossain (21) and Rupa Begum alias Jannati (23).
Two mobile phones, a key ring and a bank Visa card were recovered from them during their arrest. Earlier, a sharp object used in the murder, a sharp knife and blood-stained clothes and bed sheets were recovered from the deceased's flat.
DMP Uttara Division Deputy Police Commissioner (DC) Md. Mohidul Islam gave this information at a press conference organized at the DMP Media Center on Minto Road on Wednesday (March 12) afternoon.

His younger brother Mohammad Lutfar Rahman Bhuiyan filed a case with Uttarkhan police station on March 11 as the plaintiff in this murder.

Citing the initial interrogation of the arrested couple, Uttara DC Mohidul Islam said that before the murder, Saifur Rahman Bhuiyan met arrested Md. Nazim Hossain and Rupa Begum alias Jannati at Kamalapur railway station on March 1. Saifur brought the couple to his flat by promising to give them a job. At one stage, Saifur Rahman locked Rupa in his flat and started torturing her physically, mentally and sexually. On the night of the murder, the deceased Saifur Rahman and the couple Rupa and Nazim were in the same bed.
