Papia and Sumon were produced before the courts with a 30-day remand prayer each in the three cases.
Meanwhile, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Masud-Ur-Rahman placed two accomplices of Papia and Sumon -- Sabbir Khandaker and Sheikh Taiyaba Nur -- on a five-day remand each after police produced the duo with a 10-day remand prayer each in a case filed with Bimanbandar Police Station.
According to the police forwarding report, the accused confessed that they amassed a huge amount of money in an organised manner through illegal arms, drugs and smuggling trades, extortion, lobbying, fake note business and land grabbing.
Rab yesterday raided two flats belonging to Papia and Sumon after arresting them from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Saturday.
