The Special Response Battalion (SRB-3) has arrested a fugitive convicted of life imprisonment in a case filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act from Pallabi in Dhaka.
The arrestee, Md Selim Islam, 42, was apprehended at an auto-rickshaw garage owned by Mohammad Ali in Baunia Bandh, Pukurpar, Mirpur-11, under Pallabi Police Station at around 2:55pm on October 18, 2026.
According to SRB-3, a case was filed against Selim at Islampur Police Station in Jamalpur district under Section 8 of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, 2000. The case, numbered 26, was registered on June 17, 2012.
On February 19, 2026, the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-1 in Jamalpur sentenced him to life imprisonment in connection with the case.
Following the filing of the case, Selim had allegedly remained on the run, moving between different parts of the country while changing his name and appearance to evade arrest.
Acting on a requisition from Birganj Police Station in Dinajpur district, an SRB-3 operational team conducted an operation and arrested him in Dhaka.
SRB-3 said legal action had been taken against the arrested convict.
