Police in Sirajganj have arrested Abdul Hamid, 33, for allegedly defrauding more than 100 people of Tk 2.1 million through online investment scams. The arrest was announced at a press conference at Sirajganj Sadar Police Station on Tuesday afternoon. According to police, a case was filed on June 1 by Momtaz Begum, who said Hamid lured investors into two apps named Eco Volt and CEF, promising high profits. When the apps became inactive, he collected more money under new schemes.
Investigators said Hamid used multiple fake apps to attract unemployed youth and ordinary citizens, later shutting them down and launching new ones. When victims demanded refunds, he allegedly used a Telegram ID under the name “Hamkail Moakael,” posing as a 400-year-old spiritual figure to intimidate them. Police recovered a Walton tablet, a smartphone, and promotional materials linked to the scams.
Authorities are verifying whether others were involved. Hamid has reportedly confessed during preliminary questioning, and preparations are underway to present him before court as the investigation continues.
