Detectives have shown ex-MP Lt Gen (retd) Masud Uddin Chowdhury arrested in a human trafficking case filed with Paltan Police Station.

He was sent to court a court with a five-day remand prayer, said  DMP Additional Commissioner and Detective Branch(DB) chief Mohammad Shafiqul Islam at a press briefing at the DMP Media Centre on Tuesday afternoon.

He said a team of DB police arrested Masud from Baridhara late Monday night.

According to the DB, a total of 11 cases have so far been filed against former MP Masud Uddin Chowdhury.

Of these, three cases in Feni are currently under trial, with arrest warrants issued as he remains absconding.

Another three cases in Feni and five cases under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) are under investigation.

In addition, multiple  complaints against him are being probed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

DB chief Shafiqul Islam said Masud is accused in cases filed with Banani, Paltan, Kotwali, Mirpur and Hatirjheel police stations, involving serious charges such as murder, attempted murder, human trafficking and money laundering.

Masud is the third accused in the human trafficking  case which names a total of 101 people, the DB chief added.
