Brahmanbaria Sadar Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Shahidul Islam confirmed the arrest, saying a police team conducted the drive based on secret information. A warrant for his arrest had been issued by the court in 2023, he added.
According to bank and court sources, Enamul Haque Bhuiyan took a loan of Tk 2 crore from NCC Bank on September 11, 2012, but later defaulted on repayment, prompting the bank to file a case against him in 2015 with the Brahmanbaria Chief Judicial Magistrate Court.
After a lengthy hearing, the court sentenced him to one year of simple imprisonment and imposed a fine of Tk 2,47,23,119 in the case. Following the verdict, a warrant was issued in 2023, and he had been on the run since then.
