6 policemen suspended over looting of Tk3.5cr from freelancer

Staff Reporter:

Six members of Detective Branch (DB) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) have been suspended in connection with the looting of Tk3.5 crore from a freelancer on 26 February.

The six cops include Sub-Inspector Md Alamgir Hossain, Assistant Sub-Inspector Babul Mia and four other policemen.

The suspension order was given based on the findings of a probe committee formed to investigate the incident, said CMP’s Additional Deputy Commissioner Spina Rani Pramanik.

A case will be filed against them in this connection, she added.

Besides, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has already started investigating the two cases filed over this incident on the orders of the court.

On 26 February, a team of CMP’s Detective Branch North-South Zone led by Ruhul Amin detained freelancer Abu Bakkar from the port city’s Gulbagh residential area and seized his smartphone.

The policemen threatened to implicate Bakkar in a false cybercrime and money laundering case. Later that night, the DB police took him to the DB office in the city’s Mansurabad Police Lines.

In custody, the cops forcibly unlocked Bakkar’s phone with his fingerprint, logged into his Binance account and transferred around $2,72,000 (Tk3 crore approximately) to another account. They also transferred Tk10 lakh from his Bangladeshi bank account via mobile banking.

CMP formed a three-member committee headed by Counter Terrorism Division’s Assistant Deputy Commissioner Asif Mohiuddin on 2 March to investigate the matter.
