Former army officer and ex-MP Masud Uddin Chowdhury has been arrested in a human trafficking case filed at Paltan Police Station in Dhaka. The arrest was confirmed by Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Detective Branch (DB) Additional Commissioner Shafiqul Islam at a press briefing on Tuesday. Chowdhury was detained from Baridhara late Monday night and later produced before the court. According to police, he faces a total of 11 cases—six in Feni and five in Dhaka—covering charges including murder, attempted murder, and human trafficking.
DB officials stated that three of the Feni cases are under trial, and Chowdhury had been absconding, prompting the court to issue arrest warrants. He also faces multiple allegations under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Criminal Investigation Department. Chowdhury, a key figure during the 2007 military-backed caretaker government, previously served as coordinator of the National Coordination Committee on Serious Crimes.
Police have sought a five-day remand for further interrogation, while court proceedings on his detention are ongoing.
