A total of 44 employees of the Election Commission (EC) have been terminated for the alleged involvement with a fraud gang engaged in misappropriating money from banks and financial institutions as loans through fake national ID cards, trade licenses,s and TIN certificates.
Detectives found evidence of scams in 11 banks and financial institutions.
"In separate drives, five members of the gang were arrested at city's Khilgaon and Rampura areas," AKM Hafeez Akter, Additional Commissioner of Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday.
The arrestees are Al Amin alias Jamil Sharif, KM Hasan Imam alias Bidyut, Abdullah Al Shahid, Rezaul Islam and Shahjahan.
Cases were filed with Khilgaon and Paltan police stations in December 2020 on charges of fraudulence over taking a loan using fake NID cards.
During the investigation, Detective Branch’s Motijheel division on February 28 arrested one Biplob who informed that a section of dishonest employees of the EC had involved in the fraudulence.
On March 1, Biplob gave a confessional statement to a court. Acting on his statement, the DB arrested Al Amin, the mastermind of the gang.
