TAM Report ||
A team of the Bangladesh Army arrested two top-listed criminals Subrata Bain and his close aide Molla Masud in a special operation in Kushtia on 27 May.
The arrest was made around 5am based on intelligence inputs, Lieutenant Colonel Sami-Ud-Dowla Chowdhury, director of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), confirmed at a press briefing.
Five foreign-made pistols, 10 magazines, 53 bullets, and a satellite phone were recovered from the duo.
Acting on intelligence extracted from the arrestees, the army later detained two more individuals – Shooter Arafat and Sharif – from Dhaka’s Hatirjheel area, both described as close associates of Bain.
“These individuals are accused in numerous cases involving murder, extortion, and sabotage,” Chowdhury said, adding that Subrata Bain is listed among the country’s 23 most-wanted criminals and leads the notorious “Seven Star Gang”.
Calling on the public to report any suspicious activities to the nearest army camp or law enforcement agency, he reiterated the Bangladesh Army’s commitment to upholding law and order.
