A Dhaka court has granted a four-day remand for Md. Abdus Salam, who was arrested for allegedly impersonating the Prime Minister’s Personal Secretary (PS) to commit fraud. The order was issued on Tuesday by Metropolitan Magistrate Aminul Islam Junaid after a hearing. The court rejected Salam’s bail plea and approved the remand request submitted by the investigation officer, Sub-Inspector Md. Bulbul Ahmed of Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.

According to the case details, Salam had long been using the false identity of the Prime Minister’s PS to engage in various fraudulent activities, including illegal financial transactions and recruitment scams in government and private offices. Following reports and verified evidence reaching different levels of government, an investigation was launched. Based on confirmed information, a law enforcement team conducted a raid early in the morning at Salam’s residence in Agargaon and arrested him.

The remand will allow investigators to question Salam further to uncover the extent of his fraudulent operations and identify possible accomplices, according to the case proceedings.
