Elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) units have apprehended Md. Selim Ashrafi, widely known as Chua Selim, the suspected leader of a prominent narcotics syndicate operating out of the Geneva Camp in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. The 50-year-old suspect, who faces 36 pending criminal cases including charges of murder and drug trafficking, was taken into custody during an overnight operation on Wednesday.
Naymul Hasan, Additional Deputy Inspector General (Additional DIG) of RAB-2, confirmed the arrest on Thursday. According to authorities, Selim served as a major wholesale distributor of narcotics, orchestrating the supply of yaba tablets from Cox’s Bazar to the capital.
Law enforcement officials had been tracking Selim for several years, though he repeatedly evaded capture. Investigators noted that the suspect frequently relied on an extensive network of informants to monitor police movements and flee the area before authorities could initiate raids.
The operation to detain him was conducted by multiple RAB teams operating in plainclothes. Officials stated that following his arrest, legal proceedings are underway to transfer the suspect to the Mohammadpur Police Station to face charges in a new case.
