The Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has discovered the involvement of two foreign airlines in human trafficking from Bangladesh. Five / seven officials from the two airlines have been called to the CID headquarters for questioning.
CID Chief Additional Inspector General of Police Mahbubur Rahman told reporters on Tuesday (December 1).
Lawyer Mahbubur Rahman said that two foreign airlines were involved in human trafficking in the Middle East and Europe. All those who have been trafficked from the country have received visit or conference visas. But if someone goes to any country with these visas, they must have a return ticket. But no one took the return ticket. This is the fault of the airlines. Your officers are involved. Most of the trafficked persons went to these two airlines. We also spoke with senior officials from the two airlines. They have also admitted that it shouldn’t happen. However, the CID chief did not name the two airlines. Interpol has issued red notices against six Bangladeshi citizens who were involved in human trafficking in various countries in the Middle East and Europe.
He said that on October 16, the Bangladeshi police asked Interpol for help in arresting six human traffickers. On November 26, Interpol issued a red notice. So far, only six people have been found involved. We are also investigating if someone else is like them abroad.
Those against whom Interpol has issued red notices are Mintu Mia, Tanjimul alias Tanjid, Zafar Iqbal, Nazrul Islam Mollah, Shahadat Hossain and Swapan. Among them, Nazrul’s house is in Madaripur, Shahadat’s house is in Dhaka, and the other four are in Kishoreganj. Tanzimul is currently in Italy.
Mahbubur Rahman added that the CID was investigating 25 of the 26 cases of human trafficking after the killing of 26 Bangladeshis in Libya on May 26. So far 181 people have been arrested. A charge sheet has been filed in a case filed in Habiganj. Of the accused arrested, 42 have made confessional statements in court.
He said that 36 Bangladeshi citizens had been trafficked to Libya at different times since May 2019. They were taken to Benghazi, Libya, to be sent to Italy and Spain. On May 26, 26 people were shot to death seeking ransom. In this incident, 26 cases were filed across the country for the human trafficking charge. The CID presented three cases as plaintiffs. The rest belong to the families of the victims.
