He was arrested from Bangshal with the help of Dhaka RAB along with Police Constable Amitabh Das Talukdar by taking mobile phone last Tuesday night. He is the son of Jabar Ali of Ikram village of the upazila.

According to the police, 10 years ago Sujan Mia raped a Hindu woman abandoned by her husband in the same village. When the victim filed a case in this regard, after witness evidence, the learned judge of Habiganj Women and Child Torture Prevention Court awarded life imprisonment to Lompat Sujan Mia. Since then he was running away in different places in disguise. Finally the police came to know that he was living as a saint by renting a house in Bangshal with a bearded cow. Later he was arrested that day with the help of RAB. He was sent to jail by the court on Wednesday afternoon.
