Detectives arrested eight members of a miscreants’ gang on Sunday who took away Tk 9 lakh from a client inside the Sonali Bank’s Lalmatia branch in the capital on August 26.
The arrestees were Harun-or-Rashid, Md Badal, Emdadul Haque, Razu, Md Liton, Md Harun, Younus and Md Hannan, the police said. The gang took away the money from a garment factory official, Hamidur Rahman, said the Dhaka Metropolitan Police joint commissioner, Monirul Islam, at a press briefing on Monday.
The police identified them analysing the closed circuit camera footage, arrested them from different places in the capital and seized Tk 3 lakh from their possession, he informed.
‘At least ten fraud groups are active at different banks in the capital. They target clients and take away their money deceiving them,’ the DMP joint commissioner said.
The police had no specific information about involvement of the bank officials in these crimes, he added.
