Former Jubo Dal leader Moin Uddin, the prime accused in an extortion case at CKD Urology Hospital in Dhaka’s Shyamoli area, allegedly demanded Tk 5 lakh, according to Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General Ahsan Habib Palash. He disclosed this during a press briefing at Ramna Park on Monday after inspecting RAB’s security arrangements for the Bengali New Year 1433 celebrations.

RAB stated earlier in a text message that Moin and six others had been arrested in connection with the case. The other detainees were identified as Suman, Liton, Md. Falan Mia, Md. Rubel, Md. Swapan Kazi, and Md. Shawon Hossain. CCTV footage reportedly showed Moin arriving at the hospital on April 10 at 8:40 p.m. with associates, threatening staff while demanding money using the name of Jubo Dal.

The hospital, led by Dr. Kamrul Islam, is known for providing free kidney transplants to over 2,000 patients. Dr. Islam received the Independence Award in 2022 for his humanitarian contributions.
