The criminal network remains active despite the call from the Prime Minister’s Office for an end to national identity card fraud and the tough stance of the Election Commission and the zero tolerance policy. In all the scams that have come to light so far, there is a search for ‘ghosts in mustard’. It was learned that some of the officials and employees of the Electoral Commission are involved in this crime. Last Saturday night, detective police raided the Mirpur area and arrested five members of the fake NID gang. Among them are two employees of the Electoral Commission. Defaulters used to borrow from various banks through bogus NIDs.
Previously, on September 3, a large sum of money belonging to a man named MM Wadud was seized from the city of Kushtia for NID fraud. Ashrafuzzaman Sujan, one of the leaders of the NID fraud ring, and Ashrafuzzaman Sujan, the coordinator of the recently disbanded Juba League in the city of Kushtia, were arrested on charges of involvement in the crime.
Rohingya deported from Myanmar were accused of acquiring huge amounts of illicit wealth through the NID last year. In August this year, a fight broke out over the acquisition of NID by a Rohingya woman. How did the Rohingya get a fake NID in exchange for thousands of rupees? The names of the EC employees, as well as the officials, were also discussed with the brokers. EC, police and the ACC team went out into the field in search of the scammers. The police counter-terrorism unit was also activated at that time. The Electoral Commission is investigating the matter. Also, the president of JKG. There are also questions about whether the Election Commission can avoid responsibility for the Sabrina Arif Chowdhury NID fraud.
The latest incident: The Metropolitan Police of Detectives (DB) arrested five members of a gang on Saturday night who were helping to obtain loans from various banks by making fake NIDs. They were detained during a raid in the Block D area of Mirpur Zoo Road. At that time 12 fake NIDs were recovered from them. The detainees are Sumon Parvez (40), Majid (42), Siddharth Shankar Sutradhar (32), Anwarul Islam (28) and Abdullah Al Mamun (41). Among them, Siddharth and Anwarul could easily create fake NIDs using the Election Commission office software.
DMP (DC) Deputy Commissioner Walid Hossain told the media that the detainees had illegally borrowed from various banks, according to intelligence sources. A case has been filed against them under the National Identity Registration Act 2010 at the Mirpur Model Police Station. After showing their arrest in the case and handing them over to court, the judge granted them a two-day pre-trial detention. Attempts are being made to arrest fugitives and fraudulent borrowers involved in the scam.
According to the DB, Siddharth and Anwarul were hired by an electronics area company to work as data entry operators in the Khilgaon and Gulshan offices under the Election Commission. Data entry operators have access to EC servers. At this time, they could easily create fake NIDs using the Election Commission office software. First they would enter the server with the information of the previous NID, electricity bill and copy of the birth record of those interested in obtaining the loan. Then he would take photographs and fingerprints. Then I would enter the fake NID with a new name. The next day I would upload it to the server.
According to the DB, if someone defaults on a loan from a bank, they can no longer apply for a bank loan. Sumon and Majid, who were arrested for defaulting on such defaulters, used to take Rs 60,000 to Rs 1 lakh from each of them for making fake NIDs. Later, if the loan was approved, you would have to pay 10 percent of the total amount. If they accepted the contract, they would do the NID first.
According to DB, most of these bogus NID holders are established doctors, engineers or entrepreneurs. They have taken loans of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 3 crore from various banks by using 50 fake NIDs made by scammers.
According to intelligence sources, Mamun had worked in several banks before the arrest. You have already taken a Tk 20 lakh loan from two banks with fake national IDs. Later on Saturday night, he went to Mirpur to obtain another fake national identity card and was arrested by detectives. The ring has admitted to continuing the fraud for two years. Sumon and Majid used to receive fraudulent work orders from different people and pass them on to Siddhartha and Anwarul.
Sumon Parvez and Majid, one of the cycle leaders, admitted in questioning, Md. A fugitive named Milton made a fake NID of a bank on North South Road for Rs 3 crore, an unidentified person named Yasir took Rs 10 lakh from a bank in Pragati Sarani, a person named Saleh Ahmed took Rs 15 lakh from a bank in Gulshan and Md. Another man named Abdul Majid took a loan of Tk 20 lakh from a bank in Gulshan using a fake NID. So far DB has received information on bank loans in 50 bogus NIDs.
Gulshan Thana Election Officer Mohammad Momin Mia told Kaler Kantha on Sunday: “Siddharth and Anwarul used to work in my office. But they have been charged with NID fraud in the Mirpur area. I don’t know anything about his misdeeds.
What authorities are saying: Brigadier General Mohammad Saidul Islam, Director General of the NID wing of the Election Commission, told Kaler Kanth yesterday: “We learned of the incident in Mirpur on Saturday night. Two of our employees have been suspended for alleged involvement. An inquiry committee has been formed in this regard. The investigation will determine if any of us are involved in this wrongdoing and severe punishment will be provided. Regarding the Kushtia incident, he said: “The matter is also under investigation.”
He said an investigation was underway into the Chittagong incident, adding that a strong investigative committee was working there. A technical research committee will also be there in a few days. We want to eradicate the root of this crime.
It is known that two years ago, the Prime Minister’s Office made a recommendation to the Electoral Commission to resolve various irregularities and corruption in the NID. The NID wing then warned all employees that strict legal action would be taken against any officer-employee or any other person if there was evidence of wrongdoing, corruption, harassment of applicants for services or taking advantage of financial advantages in the provision of services.
