The police arrested former commanding officer of RAB 7 from a flat of a house Siddheshwari in Dhaka early Thursday in connection with the looting of Tk. 2 crore from a shrine in Chittagong in November 2011.
Zulfiqar Ali Majumder, the lieutenant colonel who was recently dismissed from the army, was commanding officer of the Rapid Action Battalion unit and the prime accused in the case of the looting of money from Talsara Darbar Sharif at Anwara
in Chittagong on November 4, 2011.

The police took him to the Anwara police station in Chittagong as the case was filed there, said Abdus Samad.
Zulfiqar told reporters at the Ramna police station that he had honestly served the army for 22 years and the incident had taken place when he was the commanding officer of the battalion’s unit and the case was filed. ‘I will face the case legally. The media are responsible for my situation.’
When reporters asked him why he went into hiding after being dismissed, he said, ‘I did not go into hiding. I was instructed to stay here.’
Abdus Samad also said that Zulfiqar had stayed at his relative’s house since his dismissal from the army.
