Earlier another person, named Tipu, was held.
So far, two people have been arrested in connection with the clash, said OC Selim.
On January 2, Orange and another activist Minhaz Hossain Apel, 28, were attacked in the Malgram area of the city by members of the rival faction of the organization for gaining dominance in the area.
The day next, a case was filed at the Bogra police station, following a complaint from Orange’s wife against 12 people, including five unnamed people.
Meanwhile, more cops have been deployed in Malgram Dabtala and Dakkhinpara areas following Orange’s death to avoid any unwanted situation, OC Selim said.
His body will be handed over to the family after an autopsy, he added.
