Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch arrested two alleged members of a fraud ring in Chattogram for using artificial intelligence to imitate a doctor’s image and voice in online videos promoting a product called “Prostulin F.” Police said the videos falsely presented urologist and kidney transplant surgeon Professor Dr. Md. Kamrul Islam as endorsing the product for prostate problems, physical weakness and sexual weakness. The arrests were made in separate operations in Bayezid Bostami and Panchlaish on August 18 and 19.

The suspects, Tanvir Alam alias Rahat, 23, and Md. Nurnabi Islam alias Manik, 23, were sent to court with a request for seven days’ remand. Police seized three mobile phones, SIM cards and seven fake herbal food supplements during the operation. Investigators said the group created false Facebook accounts and pages using the physician’s name, photograph and professional identity.

The case began after the doctor learned that his identity was being misused, and his personal assistant filed a case at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police station. Police said an initial examination of seized digital devices found information linked to fake Facebook pages and the alleged fraud. Investigators are seeking to identify other possible members of the network.
