Enamul, Rupon nabbed for running casino business
DHAKA, Jan 13, 2020 (BSS) – Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in
separate drives arrested three people, including two brothers – Enamul Haque
Enu and Rupon Bhuiyan, from Keraniganj, outskirts of the capital, this
morning for their alleged involvement in running casino business.
Md Faruk Hossain, additional police super of CID, told BSS that they
arrested Enamul, the director of Dhaka Wanderers Club and also vice-president
of Gendaria Awami League, his brother Rupon Bhuiyan, shareholder of the club
and Gendaria AL Joint General Secretary, and Sheikh Mostafa Sunny, one of
their accomplices, from Keraniganj this morning.
During the separate drives conducted by a team of Economic Squad of CID’s
Organised Crime Unit, the law enforcers also recovered Taka 40 lakh and 12
mobile phone sets from their possession, Faruk Hossain said.
Police said they went into hiding soon after the current government
started a massive haunt against the illegal casino business last year.
On September 25, 2019, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) raided the houses of
Enu and Rupon in the capital’s old Dhaka and seized Tk 5 crore in cash, 720
tolas of gold ornaments and five firearms.
Seven cases were filed against them with Wari, Gendaria and Sutrapur
police stations under the money laundering prevention, special power and
firearms acts last year.
