The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has issued red notice against six fugitive Bangladeshi human traffickers.
“They made the move after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) made a request in this regard,” CID Senior ASP Jisanul Haque told media on Monday.
The fugitives have been identified as Minto Mia, Shawpan, Shahadat Hossain, Nazrul Islam Molla, Ekbal Jafor, and Tanzirul.
The CID official also confirmed that the six human traffickers were now staying outside Bangladesh to avoid arrest.
All of them have been charged for fraud by alluring people with suitable jobs, wrongful confinement, and killing upon demanding ransom.
The fugitives are also accused in a case filed over the trafficking of 26 Bangladeshis, who were later killed by family members of a deceased Libyan human trafficker in Libya in May this year.
On May 28, a total of 26 Bangladesh citizens were killed and 11 others were injured in a gun attack by some human traffickers in the desert town of Mizdah, some 180km from Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
CID filed the case accusing 38 named and eight to 10 unnamed individuals with Paltan police station over the trafficking and murder of the 26 Bangladeshi migrants in Libya.
Libyan warlord Khaled Al-Mishai, who is said to be responsible for the killing of those Bangladeshis and 4 African migrants in the town of Mizdah, was reportedly killed in a drone strike by Libyan government forces just days after the gruesome killing.
Following the killing in Libya, Bangladesh police arrested several people linked with human trafficking from different parts of the country.
