Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), during a drive in Narayanganj city, sealed off two illegal NGOs and detained the conman in-charge for swindling crores of taka out of his victims.
The detainee identified as Saiduzzaman Nur Rakib, 40, operated two sham organizations, namely, Nur International Foundation and Nur Property Alleviation and Human Rights Society, to run investment scams, confirmed RAB 11 sources. The elite force seized a total of 50 illegal passports, copies of counterfeit money receipts and bank cheques, a replica gun imported from Italy, and a knife from his residence at Narayanganj’s Jamtala.
Jasim Uddin, senior assistant director, RAB-11 confirmed the matter to the media.
He said Saiduzzaman gathered experience on how to run NGO schemes from his visits to Russia, Thailand and United Arab Emirates. He came back to Bangladesh and opened two sham humanitarian organizations in 2016. Since then, he began luring victims with investment opportunities claiming guaranteed high returns.
To convince his clients, Nur forged awards conferred by prominent personalities to his “humanitarian organizations”.
The organizations employed 32 people and embezzled over Tk2 crores out of at least a hundred people, said Nur in his confession during preliminary interrogation.
The RAB official said, acting on complaints from recent victims, they busted Nur’s apartment and sealed off the joint office located on his rooftop.
A case will be filed against Nur with Fatullah police station, the RAB official added.
