The panic-stricken family members of slain Kamrul Islam Momin, a student of Mirpur Commerce College, have kept themselves confined at their Ibrahimpur house in Kafrul fearing more attacks as the prime accused Officer-in-Charge (OC) Rafiqul Islam was not arrested seven days into the killing.

The killers have been threatening the family to withdraw the OC's name from the FIR (first information report) after Kamrul was gunned down in front of his house on September 13.

"We have no other way but to confine us at home fearing more attacks as the OC is not yet arrested," Kamrul's elder brother Saiful Islam told The Daily Star yesterday. "We even keep our mobile phones off as they threaten us over phone," he added.

The family has called a press conference at their residence today to press home their demands for the arrest of the OC and other criminals as well as its security.

Police is yet to arrest the absconding OC Rafiqul, who sought anticipatory bail from the High Court on Tuesday, although the investigating officer (IO) Nasimul Islam confirmed that Kamrul was killed following the property feud with the OC.

The bail petition remained pending with the High Court.

Meanwhile, Rapid Action Battalion nabbed another FIR-listed criminal Johnny, 22, from Ibrahimpur area and handed him over to Kafrul police yesterday evening.
