One arrested for fraud over motorcycle trade

“Fahad was running a page named ‘The Garage’ on Facebook for some time and was luring motorbike enthusiasts by posting photographs of world renowned modifying bikes on his page. When interested customers contact him, he used to take money in advance, only to cheat them,” the release quoting Mirpur Model Police Station officer in-charge Md Mostafizur Rahman, said.
