A mobile court has sentenced 35-year-old Md. Nazir Hossain to two years of rigorous imprisonment for extorting money from the relatives of individuals involved in various criminal cases by posing as a police informant.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) media and public relations department confirmed the sentencing in a press release issued on Saturday. According to the report, authorities apprehended Nazir Hossain during an operation conducted by the Paltan Model Police Station in the capital on Friday.
Following his arrest, the suspect was presented before a special metropolitan magistrate’s mobile court in the Motijheel division, which handed down the two-year sentence.
Investigations revealed that Hossain had been engaged in fraudulent activities for an extended period. He frequently targeted the families of defendants involved in cases at the Motijheel and Paltan areas, as well as those pending before the special magistrate’s court. He solicited money from these families under the false pretense of securing bail, providing legal assistance, or arranging for reduced sentences for the accused.
