RAB arrests 2 frauds
Lawmen have arrested two youths for cheating with a fake bank account under the name of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) chairman and extortion over mobile phone claiming to be an ACC commissioner.
The elite crime-fighters Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Ziaur Rahman (28) from Jurain and Mohammad Israfil from Rampura on Thursday. They were both produced at the national corruption watchdog’s offices on Friday morning.
Ziaur Rahman, a Madaripur resident, said that they would select their ‘prey’ very carefully going through the media reports of government officials’ corruption.
They would get a phone from ACC commissioner Shahabuddin Chuppu and demand money.
This money would be deposited to Dutch Bangla Bank account at the Shantinagar branch. The account, he said was opened under the name of ACC boss Golam Rahman.
Lt Col Ameer Majid, of RAB, said government officials and private executives filed complaints at police stations that one man was demanding money claiming to ACC chairman or ACC official or sometimes as the APS of the ACC chairman at times.
