DHAKA, Dec 7, 2018 (BSS) – Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)-1 last night
arrested five members of a human trafficking gang from different parts of the
capital.
“The arrestees Md Asaduzzaman Asad, 39, Md Osman Gazi, 48, Md Sirajul
Islam, 52, Md Tipu Sultan, 55, and Md Liton Mahmud, 35, were detained from
capital’s Uttarkhan, Uttara and Mirpur areas,” Senior ASP Md Mizanur Rahman
Bhuiyan (media) of RAB told BSS today.
“Md Asaduzzaman Asad used to con people by setting up flashy offices in
Uttara area, publishing ads, luring them in the name of sending them to
Europe and the US. His agents used to bring the victims to Asad’s office and
realise money by making fake visas and air tickets,” RAB-1 deputy commander
Major Rakibuzzaman told BSS.
Md Osman Gazi, Md Tipu Sultan and Md Liton Mahmud used to assist Asad in
making fake visas while Md Sirajul Islam and others used to work as his
agents.
RAB recovered 32 passports, seven fake visas, cheques of different banks,
15 signed bank stamps, a laptop, two computers, one color printer and five
mobile phones from their possessions.
A case was filed in this regard.
