Man arrested over crossfire threat
Rapid Action Battalion arrested a man in the capital's Shah Ali area early yesterday for allegedly taking Tk 50 lakh from a woman saying that her son would be killed in “crossfire” if she did not pay the money.
Posing as an informant of law enforcers, Haji Alam, what Rab says, swindled Suraya Parveen, a physician whose son Yasin Muhammad Talukdar went traceless on July 14.
Yasin, a British citizen of Bangladeshi origin, was picked up by some people, who according to Suraya, were claiming to be law enforcers, from the capital's Kakoli bus stand. Later, Suraya filed a general diary with Bhashantek police.
Yasin was an accused in a case filed on February 9 with Gulshan café attacker Nibras Islam, said Khandaker Lutful Kabir, commanding officer of Rab 4, at a press briefing in the capital.
