 “A team of detectives raided the fourth floor of a building named Ayesha Manjil on the Shahjalal Road at night and arrested them with a walkie-talkie and two pairs of handcuffs at night,” the detective officials said.
“They used to cheat people in the name of marriage giving advertisement for bridegroom and bride. They used to free the victims after receiving money, as saying, we are police officials and journalists” the Joint-Commissioner said.
Even they also forced them, who went there for jobs, to sex at brothel, he said. A case was filed with the police station in this connection, he added.
