[Dhaka Tribune] RAB has locked awayI ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! six people, including a Pak national, in the capital on charges of making fake notes and human trafficking. The six -- Bangladesh-origin Pak citizen Abdullah alias Selim, 42, Md Jahangir, Md Abdul Khaleq, Md Kamrul Islam, 28, Md Abu Sufian, 48, and Md Rasel, 45 -- were held in different areas of Dhaka on Thursday night and early yesterday. RAB said the men were held in possession of 70 lakh counterfeit Indian rupees, 9,125 US dollars, 21 Pak passports, seven Bangladeshi passports and a bunch of seals of different high officials. "The seals were used for human trafficking crimes. Also, we seized equipment for making seals from the detainees," RAB's legal and media wing Director Mufti Mahmud Khan told a press briefing yesterday. He said Abdullah, Jahangir and Khaleq were detained from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area at around 8pm on Thursday. "Based on information obtained from them, RAB detained the three others in possession of 30 lakh fake Indian rupees, 43,190 Pak rupees, 13,627 dirhams, 623,500 taka, five mobile phones, four foreign mobile SIM cards, police clearance papers and travel permits around 1:30am on Friday." Mufti Mahmud said the fake Indian notes were printed meticulously in Pakistain and Pak national Abdullah is the leader of the gang. "In 1979, he moved to Pakistain from Bangladesh where he was involved in producing counterfeit foreign notes and human smuggling. During his stay in Pakistain, he would visit Bangladesh occasionally." The RAB official said the six men had communicated with crime lord Dawood Ibrahim's four associates - Aslam Suriya, Arif, Javed and Hanif -- who live in Pakistain. "The four men help Bangladeshi citizens living in Pakistain without valid passports move to Bangladesh. On the other hand, the six detainees make fake documents for illegal Pak nationals living in Bangladesh." According to RAB, the six men smuggle fake Indian notes via Chapainawabganj border with the help of a local man named Kamrul Islam. "Kamrul sells the notes to an Indian gang in Malda district of West Bengal. One lakh fake Indian rupees are sold for 40-45 thousand rupees. The Indian gang again uses the money during trades with Bangladeshi nationals, especially cattle traders, to defraud them." RAB has so far arrested 1,700 people in possession of counterfeit notes and another 165 for involvement in human trafficking. |
