RAB apprehended him from Farmgate area in the capital Dhaka and the other accused, Md Murad, from Naogaon on Wednesday night, the elite force's legal and media wing director Khandaker Al Moin told Jago News.

Earlier on Saturday night, a housewife was gang raped in a bush adjacent to Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall after confining her husband in the dormitory.

On the night, the victim's husband lodged a case against six people with Ashulia Police Station in this connection.

After the case filing, police arrested four accused. They are Mostafizur Rahman, international affairs secretary of JU unit BCL, and students Sabbir Hasan, Sagor Siddique, and Hasanuzzaman.

The victim said Mamun lived in their house on rent and on Saturday evening, he called her husband at Jahangirnagar University.

Later, Mamun asked her, too to come to the campus with his bag and baggage, saying he would no longer live in their house and stay with Mostafizur at Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall.
