Joggeshwar Roy, 50, the principal of Sonto Gaurio Temple in Debiganj, was slaughtered on the verandah of his house by two assailants on February 21 while neighbour Gopal Chandra Roy, 35, received bullet injuries as he tried to save the priest.
Three killers took part in the operation while five others kept the crime scene under surveillance, police claimed.
Earlier, the law enforcers arrested three suspected JMB men in the case. The latest drive was conducted based on information given by Khalil, Babul and Jahangir, who are now on a 15-day police remand.
The trio confessed that at least eight people were involved in the murder of Joggeshwar.
