“We will take decisive action against anyone implicated in drug-related activities, regardless of their status,” declared the CID chief.

“We have evidence implicating the brothers of Abdur Rahman Bodi and their associates. If Bodi’s involvement surfaces during the interrogation of his brothers, we will not hesitate to apprehend him as well.

No one will be granted immunity in drug-related cases.”The initial phase of CID’s investigation scrutinized 35 cases, uncovering a multitude of movable and immovable assets, including funds stashed in bank accounts, acquired lands, residences, and apartments amassed through illicit drug ventures.

The aggregate sum of ill-gotten gains in these cases stands at approximately Tk. 178.44 crore.
