DHAKA, Sept 6, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today placed US-Bangla Airlines
cabin crew Rabeya Sheikh Mousumi, who was detained on September 5 with around
10-kilogram of gold bars at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, on two-
day remand in a case lodged over the incident.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jasim passed the order as
investigation officer of the case and Airport Police Station Sub-Inspector
(SI) Shafikul Islam produced Mousumi before the court and pleaded to place
her on 10-day remand.
Members of Airport Armed Police Battalion (AAPBn) detained the cabin crew
as she landed here from Muscat and was trying to board a vehicle after coming
out of the airport through domestic terminal.
Confirming the news to BSS, AAPBn Additional Superintendant of Police
(operations and media) Alamgir Hossain said being tipped off, his men
challenged Mousumi while she was trying to board a vehicle.
“We brought her to our office and found a total 82 gold bars from her
pocket and scotch taped to different parts of her body,” Hossain added.
Later, a case was filed in this regard.
