Two fugitive convicts held in Dhaka
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) have arrested two fugitives, convicted for separate offences, from Hatirjheel and Keraniganj areas in Dhaka.
The arrestees were identified as Md Sheikh Farid, sentenced to four years in prison in a drugs case, and Dr MM Shamimuzzaman, jailed for one year for cheque fraud.
Rab-3 commander Lt Col Arif Mohiuddin Ahmed said they arrested Farid from Hatirjheel and Shamimuzzaman from Keraniganj early Thursday.
A drug case was filed against Farid in November 2020 with Kotwali Police Station in Chattogram and a cheque fraud case was filed against Shamimuzzaman with Pirojpur Sadar Police Station in October 2017.
They had been on the run in different areas of the capital since the cases were filed, said the Rab official. Legal steps are underway against them, he added.
