A Dhaka court has ordered a six-day remand for retired Lieutenant General and former MP Masud Uddin Chowdhury in a human trafficking case filed at Paltan Police Station. The order was issued on Sunday, March 29, 2026, by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam after the accused was produced before the court following a previous five-day remand. The investigating officer, DB Police Sub-Inspector Md. Raihanur Rahman, had sought a seven-day remand for further interrogation.
According to the prosecution, Chowdhury’s name appears in the case’s first information report, which accuses him of involvement in a syndicate that dominated the overseas labor market and extorted large sums from recruiting agencies. The plaintiff, Altab Khan, owner of Afia Overseas, alleged that the group forced him to pay Tk 12.56 crore and caused business losses worth Tk 20 crore. The defense argued that there were no specific allegations beyond the FIR and that the repeated remands were intended to humiliate the 72-year-old accused.
The court granted six days of remand, citing the need to question Chowdhury about agency selection processes, FWCMS operations, and recovery of embezzled funds.
