Charge sheet against businessmen Nasir, Omi in drug case

Dhaka metropolitan detective branch (DB) police has filed the charge sheet against businessmen Nasir Uddin Mahmud and Tuhin Siddiqui Omi in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act with Airport Police Station.

The DB, however, applied to exempt the three women accused in the case - Lipi Akhter, Nazma Amin Snigdha, and Sumi Akhter as their involvement was not found.

Sub-inspector of police, Farid Ahmed, also the general registration officer of the airport police station, confirmed BSS today, saying that the charge sheet was submitted in the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's Court on July 27, but due to the strict lockdown declared by the government, the proceedings were halted.

Nasir is currently out on bail, but, Omi is still in jail.
