20 stolen bikes seized
Police early yesterday arrested two persons with 20 “stolen” motorcycles from Purba Rajabazar area in the capital.
The motorcycles were seized from the garage of a multi-storey building at 165/A Purba Rajabazar around 2:30am, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station Sub-Inspector Abdur Razzak said.
Fazle Rabbi, owner of the house, and his friend Farhan Ahmed were arrested for their alleged involvement in “stealing” the motorcycles, he said.
The duo, who claimed to have kept the bikes in the house for “business” purpose, however, failed to produce valid documents.
A case was filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Razzak, also investigation officer in the case, produced the arrestees before a Dhaka court yesterday and sought their remand for three days. The court after a hearing rejected the appeal and ordered sending them to jail.
