And he might be taken out any time tonight to assist in the search for a hidden arms cache ... Rab officials caught Mithu on Sunday midnight from one of his relative's house in Nabiganj upazila of Habiganj district. On the following day, they handed him over to the Habiganj police and CID During the questioning, the Huji operative admitted his involvement in the grenade attack. "It's okay, Chaudhray, we won't need the tongs after all." "But Sarge, I just got them heated up!" ASP Rafiqul submitted the remand petition while the Habiganj police produced Mithu before the court on Tuesday. The IO in his petition said, Mizanur Rahman Mithu had admitted his complicity in the sensational killing. Mithu should be interrogated closely since the name of Badrul Alam Mizan, who is now in jail as an accused in the case, has come out in the statement, the IO said. The IO also sought remand for former state minister Lutfuzzaman Babar in the same case on Tuesday. The judicial magistrate set March 14 for hearing the remand prayer in presence of Babar.
