The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the police has arrested two members of a fraud ring for embezzling around Tk 86 lakh by promising high profits on WhatsApp groups. The arrested are Masum Rana (38) and Shamim Akhtar (36) of Birampur upazila of Dinajpur district.
\nThey were arrested in separate operations from Birampur area of \u200b\u200bDinajpur district on Wednesday and Thursday (April 9). This fraud ring embezzled Tk 85 lakh 87 thousand 400 from BIWTA officer Saleh Ahmed Khan by promising high profits through a fake company called ‘Dreampiercing MCS Limited’.
\nThe victim alleged that the fraudsters lured him into investing by sending him fake contracts on WhatsApp. In good faith, he used to send money through bKash and banks by mortgaging his savings, office money and even his wife’s gold. Later, the accused disconnected the communication without paying the dividend.
\nThe Cyber \u200b\u200bPolice Centre (CPC) of the CID said that during the initial interrogation, the arrested person confessed to the crime. They have been sent to court and investigation is underway to arrest the remaining members of the gang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
