Md. Shahariar Islam Rocky, alias Rocky, a top member of Khulna's much-discussed Nurazim gang, has been arrested in Madaripur. He is the own brother of the gang's chief, Nurazim.
A joint SRB team arrested him on Thursday afternoon during a raid in the DC Road area under Shibchar police station in Madaripur.
