Notorious Criminal ‘Khora Kamrul’ Arrested in Jashore

The Detective Branch (DB) of the Jashore District Police has arrested Kamrul Islam, a notorious local criminal widely known as ‘Khora Kamrul’. The 47-year-old suspect, who faces 20 pending criminal charges including murder and firearms offences, was apprehended following a targeted operation. Police sources confirmed that Kamrul is the son of Abdul Aziz, residing in the Kholadanga suburb of Jashore.

Details of the Police Operation

The official announcement regarding the arrest was made during a press briefing held on Sunday morning (31 May) at the office of the Jashore District Superintendent of Police. Addressing the media, Mirajul Islam, the Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime and Operations), provided the operational details that led to the capture of the high-profile fugitive.

According to the police briefing, the breakthrough came after an earlier law enforcement operation on 6 April. On that date, police arrested two individuals, identified as Khalidur Rahman Titu and Sheikh Moinuddin Ferdous, in connection with a firearms case filed at the Kotwali Police Station. Following extensive interrogation of these two suspects, investigators uncovered concrete evidence linking Khora Kamrul directly to the seized weapons.

Armed with this actionable intelligence, the police initiated a manhunt to locate the suspect. The operation culminated on Saturday afternoon (30 May), when a DB police team raided a rented property in the Missionpara area of Jashore municipality, successfully taking Kamrul into custody.
