The name of the weapon is Uzi. Point Tutu Bore Gun. The weapon is used by members of the military in various countries around the world, including Israel and Belgium. It is much more modern than the pistols used by the country’s law enforcement agencies. Importers are bringing these weapons to Bangladesh through manipulation. Many of those with a Point Tutu Bohr license keep this sophisticated weapon with them while the law circulates. Police have expressed concern over the matter. The Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police on Wednesday (October 26) expressed concern and submitted a report to the Police Commissioner.
Police officers say it could be a cause for concern if the weapons fall into the hands of militants. The army has also advised experts not to hand the weapon over to civilians, citing military rank. The expert committee said it could only be used to provide security to high-ranking officials or important personalities.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Detective Tejgaon Division Deputy Commissioner Golam Mostafa Russell told the Bengali Tribune: “A report has been made to the higher authorities in this regard. We are investigating the matter further.
Sources said that on August 20 this year, on the basis of secret information, the Tejgaon Division of the Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police arrested a drug dealer named Minal Sharif along with a silver-colored private car in front of Eudar below the Mohammadpur Police Station. During his arrest, several brands of foreign liquor were recovered from him and his automobile firearms license seized. During preliminary questioning, Minal said there were more drugs in his house Detectives searched his floor number A / 1 of house No. 19/2, Highway No. 15, Dhanmondi. Apart from the drugs, an Uzi brand pistol and 44 rounds of ammunition were recovered from there.
Intelligence officials said they were surprised to find the recovered weapon and it matched his license. By reviewing the type of weapon and the license, they find the average between the weapon and the license. Although the license mentions Point Tutu Bohr, he has a sophisticated Uzi brand pistol in his possession. During questioning, Minal Sharif said that he had legally purchased the weapon from MH Arms Company in Purana Paltan.
Intelligence officials said they had asked the court for permission to keep a general diary (GD No. 1063) at the Dhanmondi Model Police Station for further investigation of the matter. Later, a letter was delivered to Mokaram Hossain, the owner of the MH Arms Company, to find out the similarity of the type of weapon to the license. In response to the letter, Mokaram Hossain, owner of HM Arms Company, said in a written statement that they imported weapons through the Ramna branch of Uttara Bank Limited with the approval of the Home Office. Imported products have been discharged from Dhaka Customs for regular duties such as rifles and stored for sale as rifles. Minal Sharif bought one of his imported guns with his valid license.
Police said Point Tutu Bohr was mentioned on the gun license. With his license, the licensee can purchase a tutu tip rifle. But since the Uzi brand gun is also tutu tipped, importers are importing and selling it.
An intelligence official said they had sent a letter to the director of the Dhaka Cantonment, Headquarters Logistics Area (EME branch) to test the weapon and obtain the opinion of a weapons expert to be more certain about the matter. Upon inspection, the weapon was identified as a military grade weapon from army headquarters.
In the opinion of experts, the tutu tip rifle is mentioned in the license, but Uzi will not be able to buy a pistol (semi-automatic). The Uzi pistol and the Uzi rifle are two completely different firearms. In addition to the spare parts, the weight and length of the two weapons have different differences. It is also more sophisticated than the pistols used by law enforcement. Because its magazine capacity is 20 rounds. The maximum magazine loading capacity of pistols used in the Bangladesh Army is 15 rounds. The opinion of the experts is that the license of the weapon must be specific to the caliber as well as the type of weapon and the capacity of the magazine of the weapon must also be mentioned.
According to intelligence sources, the matter is a matter of public order concern, intelligence officials found that six arms importers had imported 91 Uzi pistols in the last five years. These are MH Arms Co., Ahmed Hossain Arms Co., Messrs. Tofazzal Hossain, K Ahmed Arms & Co. and Shafiqul Islam Arms & Co. Of the 91 Uji pistols imported by these six companies, 49 have already been sold. At the same time, another company called Moin Arms Co. imported 20 Uzi rifles. They have sold 4 of them. The remaining 16 are in stock.
The report submitted by the detective police to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner indicated that it was necessary to confiscate all such weapons, including imported, sold and stored Uzi pistols, taking advantage of the ambiguity of the law. At the same time, the weapons could be confiscated and turned over to the police for use, the recommendation says.
Although the recommendation mentions the caliber in the firearm license, it must be accompanied by a clear type of firearm, specification of the magazine capacity in the license, firearms and legal regulations, notification, appropriate firearm law, regulations, notification, authority of appropriate license, licensing authority. It is suggested that law enforcement agencies become more involved in this matter, licensees should be more aware of social status, occupation, etc. and there should be an obligation to inspect in the presence of weapons experts while arms shipments are unloaded from customs.
