RAB submits charge sheet against Samrat in arms case

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has submitted a charge sheet against expelled Juba League south unit president Ismail Chowdhury Samrat in an arms case filed with Ramna Police Station. 

Shekhor Chandra Mallick, Sub Inspector of RAB-1 and Investigation Officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet to the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Wednesday morning. 

Nizam Uddin, General Registration Officer of Ramna Police Station, confirmed the matter to Jago News. 

RAB arrested Samrat along with his close aide Enamul Haque Arman, expelled Juba League South unit vice president, from Cumilla on October 6, raiding a house near the Indian border.

Samrat was then brought to the capital, and the elite force conducted operations at various establishments where he either lived or carried out political and business activities.

RAB also took Samrat to his political office in Kakrail where he had been reportedly staying since the crackdown began on September 18.

RAB seized two electric machines used for torturing people, a pistol with five bullets, two hides of Kangaroo, 1,160 pieces of Yaba and 19 bottles of foreign liquor from there.

Later, a RAB mobile court sentenced Samrat to six months in jail for possessing wild animal hides and another six months for possessing liquor.

The RAB members also searched two of his houses in the capital’s Shantinagar and Mohakhali DOHS areas.

Samrat controlled illegal casino business at different clubs in the capital and was also involved in tender manipulation and extortion.

On October 7, RAB filed two cases against Samrat with the Ramna police station under narcotics and arms acts.
