Ameer Ali is the mastermind of the abduction, the arrestees claimed during a press briefing of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at its Uttara Headquarters.
Earlier, Rab arrested the six people for their alleged involvement with the abduction of Parag Mondol from different parts of the capital and its outskirts area in the wee hours of Thursday.
Arrested Ali Rifat, 19, Jahidul Hasan, 18, Kalachand, 35, Rizvi Ahmed Anik, 18, Alfaz, 18, and Abul Bashar, 25, were produced before the media at the Rab headquarters in Uttara where they confessed to their involvement.
Son of businessman Bimol Chandra Mondol of Keraniganj, Parag was abducted by a band of armed criminals on the morning of November 11 while he along with his two sisters and mother was about to get into their car for going to school.
Parag, a KG-I student of Heed International School, was rescued three days' after his abduction from Atibazar in Keraniganj.
According to the arrestees, Ameer Hossain and his accomplice Al Amin, who are still at large, had masterminded the abduction.
The kidnappers used Rifat's and Jahidul's motorcycles for kidnapping the boy, they said.
Jahidul is an HSC student of Dhania College in Jatrabari while Ali Rifat is the student of a marine engineering institute in Dhaka.
All the arrestees claimed that Ameer Hossain beguiled them into participating in the kidnapping by convincing them that they only kept the boy detained merely to realise the money that Parag's father owed from him.
On queries, they claimed that they did not know any thing about ransom money, they only heard about Tk 50 lakh.
Commander M Sohail, director of the legal and media wing of Rab, Lt Col Ziaul Ahsan, director of the Intelligence Wing of Rab, and Lt Col Kamrul Hasan, commanding officer of Rab-10 were present at the press conference.
