Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested Cynthia Beethi, daughter of jailed top criminal Subrata Bain, from Cumilla. Beethi, widely known in the underworld as the ‘Gang Mother’, allegedly controlled her father’s crime network during his imprisonment. Authorities say her arrest could expose deeper ties between organized crime, political unrest, and cross-border terrorism.

Investigators believe Beethi maintained contact with Indian criminal groups and oversaw arms trafficking, extortion, and illegal financial operations. RAB is analyzing her digital devices and call records to trace her international connections and identify accomplices. Officials also suspect her involvement in recent attacks on July revolution activists and possible links with fugitive political figures.

Security analysts view the arrest as a potential breakthrough in dismantling a modern, tech-driven criminal network operating across borders. Law enforcement agencies are now focusing on uncovering her arms caches, financial backers, and trained hitmen, with more arrests expected in the coming weeks.
