Former army officer and ex-MP for Feni-3 constituency Masud Uddin Chowdhury was arrested late Monday night from Baridhara, Dhaka, and presented before court on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in connection with a human trafficking case filed at Paltan Police Station. The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police confirmed that he was shown arrested in the case and five days’ remand was sought.
DB Chief Additional Commissioner Shafiqul Islam stated at a press briefing that a total of 11 cases have been identified against Chowdhury. Three cases in Feni are under trial with arrest warrants issued due to his absconding, while another three in Feni and five under DMP are under investigation. The allegations include murder, attempted murder, human trafficking, and money laundering. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are also investigating related complaints.
Police said Chowdhury had been evading arrest within the country, not abroad. Investigations will determine his involvement in each case, and authorities assured that justice will be ensured under due process.
