A youth accused of killing his father in Narail's Lohagara upazila has been arrested in Gopalganj.
The arrestee, Khairul Sheikh, 25, is the son of the victim, Afsar Sheikh and a resident of Boyra area in Lohagara of the district.
Lt Col Nistar Ahmed, commander of SRB-6, said an operational team from the Bhatia Para Camp arrested Khairul in front of the Upazila Muktijoddha Complex in Gopalganj Sadar around 4:15pm on Saturday, acting on a tip-off.
Khairul is the prime accused in the murder case. He was later handed over to Lohagara Police Station in Narail for further legal action.
According to the case statement, Khairul had been involved in a family dispute with his father over various domestic issues.
