Swindlers at work
Shams, Gulshan, Dhaka
A group of female snake charmers have found out a new technique of extorting money from single female passengers travelling in rickshaw or CNG or any other open window vehicle. They carry small snakes in wooden/leather box/bag and bring out those before the single female passenger and demand money. Female passengers, out of fear, donate cash as demanded. On May 8 five such female snake charmers were collecting money right under the nose of traffic personnel on duty in Gulshan-2 round about at around 11:00 hrs. One passenger was attacked by three of them in succession and thrice she had to pay Tk 20 to 50. If refused they would throw the snake on her as threatened. I called the Gulshan PS and police control room and brought the matter to their notice. I don't know what action they have taken.Readers attacked by such unscrupulous persons are requested to narrate their story to Gulshan police at 9980234.
