Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested two war criminals and death-row convicts around four years after they were awarded capital punishment in 2019.
The arrestees are Abdul Wahed Mondal and his brother Jachhizar Rahman Khoka.
A team of Rab-3 arrested Wahed from Mugda area while a Rab-2 team arrested Khoka from Mohammadpur on Thursday.
They have been absconding since 2016 after coming out of jail on bail, Lt Col Arif Mohiuddin Ahmed, commanding officer of Rab-3, told a press briefing at the Rab media centre on Friday.
On October 15, 2019, the International Crimes Tribunal handed death penalties to five people of Gaibandha, including the two arrestees for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
