RAB spokesperson Mufti Mahmud Hassan told bdnews24.com that one of those nabbed was 'Lovlu' who was driving the vehicle, into which the girl was dragged in and raped.



The other arrested is 'Ashraf' alias 'Tushar'.



Hassan said both were arrested late on Tuesday night.



"These two masterminded the gang rape. Both have confessed during preliminary interrogation that they raped the girl after dragging her into the vehicle," Hassan said.



The Garo girl has said in her police complaint that she was raped by five men.



Hassan said more details about the arrests will be provided in a media briefing later on Wednesday.

Another RAB official, on condition of anonymity, said 'Lovlu' was arrested on Tuesday night from Dhaka's Gulshan area, while Tushar was nabbed from Patuakhali's Kuakata.



The girl in her early twenties worked as a salesperson at a clothing outlet in Jamuna Future Park.

She was dragged into a microbus when she was waiting for transport to reach home after work.



Those in the microbus took turns to rape her and after 90 minutes she was dumped off at Uttara.



Her family filed a case with Vatara Police Station the next day. Signs of forced sex were found when she was physically examined the day after.



Meanwhile, police has been blamed for negligence in accepting the case and rights groups have moved the High Court over the matter.



The court asked police to explain the delay in accepting the case and why it should not be asked to compensate the victim.

It has also asked the police to explain as to why steps should not be taken against some of them for negligence.
