Former NBR member Matiur Rahman, who is better known for his son's goat scandal, has been arrested from Bashundhara in the capital, police said on Wednesday.
He and his wife, former upazila chairman Layla Kaniz, were arrested by the DB (Detective Branch) of DMP on Tuesday.
The information was confirmed by Muhammad Talebur Rahman, DC (Media and Public Relations) of DMP.
He did not provide any details about the arrest of the couple who faces corruption allegations.
Matiur went into early retirement last year amid graft allegations that surfaced after his son bought a goat at Tk15 lakh for Eid-ul-Azha festival.
