Police have arrested five individuals accused of attempting to extort money from the residence of a former Member of Parliament by falsely claiming to be "coordinators." The suspects — Md. Siam, Sadman Sadab, Md. Aminul Islam, Ibrahim Hossain, and Abdur Razzak Riad — are currently in custody, with a formal case under process. Among those detained, Abdur Razzak Riad is reported to be the acting convener of the Combined Private University Chapter of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, and a member of the Democratic Student Union. The others are affiliated with various ranks of the anti-discrimination movement. According to Gulshan Police Station Officer-in-Charge Hafizur Rahman, the group demanded Tk 10 million from former MP Shammi Ahmed. They had allegedly already taken Tk 1 million earlier and were caught when they returned to collect the remaining amount. Shammi Ahmed alerted the police, leading to their arrest.
