‘Serial killer’ was absconding in guise of Baul

RAB has arrested a ‘serial killer’ who was absconding for years under the guise of a baul (folk singer).

A team of RAB arrested Helal Hossain alias Selim from Bhairab in Kishoreganj on Wednesday night.

Selim was sentenced to life term in a murder case in North Bengal.  He was also accused in several murder cases.

Khandaker Al Moin, RAB’s legal and media wing commander, confirmed the news.

He said in the guise of a Baul, he used to live in different shrines and railway stations to avoid arrest.

RAB will hold a press brief in this regard on January 13.
