The RAB arrested a couple on charges of postal forgery worth 3.5 million Tk in a raid in the Taltola de Agargaon area of the capital. They were arrested on Sunday (January 3) morning in the Taltola area on the basis of secret information. The detainees are Fazul Haque Ashraf (52) and his wife Achma Akter Shimu (38). Aside from the mail fraud, the couple had been cheating for a long time. At that time, Rs 1.5 lakh in cash, a large quantity of GPO stamps and a money order form were recovered.
According to the information provided by them, 3 GPO employees and one of their associates were arrested in the afternoon. The other detainees are Amjad Ali (55), Mostafizur Rahman (52), Dolly Rani Saha (53) and Lincoln Saha (24).
According to the RAB, in February senior officials from the Dhaka GPO learned that a fraudulent group was elegantly withdrawing money by forging money orders. Later, between June and July, several thousand counterfeit money orders were found. In Dhaka GPO alone, they receive 6,000 fake money orders. Furthermore, a large number of counterfeit money orders have so far been found at the Mirpur and Newmarket post offices.
The GPO filed a case against Fazlul Haque, Abul Bashar and Shimu Begum as alleged scammers. After the case, the defendants went into hiding. The GPO authorities subsequently complained to the RAB for help in this regard.
Following this, on Sunday (January 3) morning, they carried out a raid in the Taltola area and arrested Fazlullah Haque Ashraf and his wife Achma Akter Shimu.
Director of the legal and media wing of RAB Lt. Colonel Ashiq Billah told about the fraudulent couple that Fazlul Haque initiated the fraud in 2017 by changing the amount of money in the money order with the help of some Postal Service employees. He claims to be the head of several organizations called the Pathashishu Foundation, the Sanwar Foundation, and the Arrolite Biogas. He said that he used to make and sell paper sticks for the development of street children. He wrote first to all high school and high school board chairs to continue to provide this document at low cost. Later, through a judicial petition in the Superior Court, he was authorized to buy each book of various public exams from all boards of education at a price of 60 paise. According to him, he started buying 1000 books from examiners in different places for 800 rupees.
Thereafter, he began falsifying GPO money order forms and sending money orders worth 600 rupees to various teachers. Tactically organizes the sending of fake money orders with signatures and stamps, such as original money orders, to distribution channels in various post offices, including GPOs.
Fazlul Haque also tempted farmers to distribute Saudi palm saplings at no cost. As part of this, he charged Rs 100 for the registration fee and accepted it through bKash. At the same time, his organization, Pathashishu Kalyan Trust, raised money through money orders, showing the temptation to give stipends to poor students.
