Six of a blackmailing gang arrested
Barishal Metropolitan Police (BMP) arrested six members of a blackmailing gang in different areas of the city on Tuesday.
The arrestees are Sumon Sardar, 26, Munna Chowdhury, 27, Monir Hawladar, 25, Tanvir Khan, 26, Zulhas Sardar, 26, and Sumi Akhtar, 25.
Police also seized eight mobile handsets and Tk 13,000 in cash from the possession of the arrestees.
BMP Commissioner Mosharraf Hossain yesterday disclosed the information at a press conference at the BMP Headquarters.
The arrestees, during primary interrogation, confessed that they used to collect ransom from men after luring them to their den where they would secretly record video of the victim with one of their female gang members.
The arrestees were sent to jail after a case was filed with Kawnia Police Station against them under anti-pornography and human trafficking laws, the BMP commissioner said.
