Sub-Inspector Mostaq Hossain, investigation officer of the case, said they nabbed Akkas in Jigatola and Nantu in Mirpur in pre-dawn raids. "We've arrested Akkas and Nantu as Tarana suspect they might have attacked her to avenge handing over of some gang members to police when they looted her gold ornaments two months back," he added.
