Narayanganj: A former Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) member, who was sentenced to death along with others in the seven-murder cases, surrendered before a court here on Sunday.

Sepoy Abdul Alim turned up before the court of District and Session’s Judge Syed Enayet Hossain in the morning.

On January 16, a Narayanganj court sentenced 26 people, including Nur Hossain, a former councillor of Narayanganj City Corporation, three sacked Rab-11 officials – Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, Maj Arif Hossain and Lt Commander M Masud Rana, to death and nine others to different jail terms in the sensational seven-murder cases.

On April 27 in 2014, seven persons, including councilor Nazrul Islam of Narayanganj City Corporations (NCC), Advocate Chandan Sarker, were abducted from Dhaka-Narayanganj Link Road.

The bodies of six of them were recovered from the Shitalakhya River three days after the abduction, while another from the same river the next day.
