Director General (DG) of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed on Sunday said that Juba League (JL) leader Ismail Hossain Samrat left Dhaka and went into hiding a day after crackdown against casinos started.
Samrat used several ploys to avoid arrest during the ongoing casino crackdown, the DG said it at the RAB Headquarters in the capital on Sunday morning.
Hours after his arrest, Samrat was expelled from the party for his anti-social activities and breaching party discipline.
“Samrat was arrested on charge of specific allegation of his involvement in casino business as his name surfaced several times during our ongoing drive against casinos,” said the RAB Chief.
Asked whether such arrest would continue, RAB DG Benazir said, “The arrest of one and two will not work…we are working together. Let’s have patient.”
Responding to another query, the RAB Chief said, “We have shut casinos and arrested many in this connection. We are moving forward steadily”.
Pointing figure at wrongdoers, Benazir asked them to stay away from illegal business, otherwise they have to pay for it.
