3 manpower agents held


Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) on Monday arrested three manpower agents in the city's Motijheel area on charges of cheating people in the name of sending them abroad.

Rab personnel arrested Mallik Rezaul Selim, Habibur Rahman and Mizanur Rahman with Tk 10,000 and two cellphones at 5:15pm on the basis of complaints lodged by ten job seekers who were cheated by the agents.

Of the ten, four were sent to Dubai with fake visas. Two of them were sent back to Bangladesh while two others got arrested.

The job seekers alleged that the agents took Tk 2 lakh from each of them promising jobs in Dubai.

Rab sources said the arrestees had been making money in the name of sending people abroad through a fake travel agency.
