Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested 27 people on April 16, 2026, for their involvement in a series of fraud and criminal activities across the capital. Among them was the mastermind behind a scam that extorted 1 million taka from a woman by playing a fake recording of her imprisoned husband’s cries. The suspects posed as members of the Detective Branch (DB) and demanded money for the man’s supposed release. The woman sent the money through a courier service before realizing she had been deceived.
Police later tracked down the ringleader, Md. Javed Hossain, from Johnson Road using CCTV footage and technology. In a separate case, Sutrapur police arrested Md. Alamin for embezzling 1.15 million taka under the pretext of verifying a bank account. Authorities recovered multiple mobile phones, SIM cards, foreign currency, and checkbooks from him. Another operation in Hazaribagh led to the arrest of 25 people involved in drug trading and other crimes.
Police urged the public to remain cautious about phone calls from unknown numbers claiming to represent law enforcement and confirmed that similar operations will continue to ensure public safety.
