A man jumped from the third floor of a residential hotel and died on the spot during a Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) drive early yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Anwar Hossain, 28, an alleged sex-workers' agent in the hotel, Lodge Inn, at Kakoli in Gulshan.
Officer-in-charge (OC) Kamal Uddin of Gulshan Police Station said Anwar jumped to the rail lines behind the hotel and died on the spot while a team of Rab-1 was conducting drives at the hotel and another one, Dhaka Inn, adjacent to it around 1:00am.
The Rab team, on a tip off, raided the hotels and arrested 12 men and nine women allegedly involved in unsocial activities there.
The OC said on information they recovered Anwar's body from the rail lines and sent it to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.
