Fake APS to president arrested

A man introducing himself as an assistant private secretary (APS) to President Zillur Rahman was arrested at Uttara in the city last night.
Uttara police with the assistance of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested the impostor identified as Gholam Sarwar, a Bangabhaban press release said yesterday.
Recently, Bangabhaban received a complaint that someone took Tk 3 lakh from Nurul Absar, a resident of Patenga in Chittagong, claiming that he is an APS to the president and assuring him that he would admit Absar's niece to a medical collage.
Absar filed a case with the Uttara Police Station yesterday. As per information of the case, police arrested Sarwar, son of Abdul Khaleq Sarkar from Kashimpur village under Motlab upazila in Chandpur.
Terming the incident as unfortunate, the release of the president's office said there is no link of the president and his relatives with the impostor.
The release asked everyone to beware of this kind of people and hand over them to the law enforcement agencies.
