Top gold smugglers, Motiar Rahman alias Khalil, escaped from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport after passing the passport. On December 25, he was going to Colombo on a Sri Lankan Airlines flight. His foreign travel was banned.
This Motiar Rahman went abroad 165 times in the last three years (2015-17). Of these, 78 are in Malaysia, 64 times in India. He did not even go to Dubai, Colombo, Hong Kong and Singapore. When he went abroad, he never had to face any trial. Rather, the immigration police always gave him a discount. Now Motiar Rahman is in danger due to Singapore. However, the police escaped from the airport due to lack of proper arrangements.
Bangladesh is a major route or way of gold smuggling. The gold smuggled around every day is caught in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet airports. Although its carriers are sometimes caught during the trafficking, its original owner or moneylender is not caught. They are always out of control. However, police could not arrest the top smuggler even after getting the first specific information. Police sources suspect that he has been given the opportunity to flee.
An Interpol Branch (NCB) official of the police headquarters in Dhaka said in the first light, Singapore Interpol told Bangladesh on August 31 last year that police investigating an illegal currency smuggling case of the country. It is said that Alauddin and Jahangir Alam, who got work permit in Singapore, were caught in Singapore on July 17 of that year with huge amount of foreign currency. In the interrogation, they said that the owner of this money is a person named Motiar Rahman, who took gold from Singapore to Bangladesh. Before Alauddin also confessed to the Singapore police about coming to Singapore with foreign currency. Then the Singapore-based trade union department investigated the incident.
Singapore police investigated and learned that, Motiar Rahman has been taking huge amount of foreign currency (dollars) from different countries, including Bangladesh, to Singapore. Then, after buying the gold with that dollar, they are trafficking in Bangladesh again. In addition to Alauddin and Jahangir Alam, many Singaporeans including Rezaur Rahman, Mominur Rahman, and Singapore Police know that Motiar's gold deal involves the deal. The Singapore police report also said that on paper, Motiyar and Alauddin have business establishments in Dhaka, but their main job is to trace the huge shipment of gold from Bangladesh to Bangladesh. The police have been providing evidence that they have been working on this for a long time.
The Interpol report was sent to the Investigation Department (CID) from the Police Headquarters for organized crime prevention branches. On behalf of the CID, the immigration police requested that they get the passport number of the five. In this situation, on 24th December, Motiar came to Dhaka from Colombo at 11:20 pm on the plane of Sri Lankan Airlines (UL-189). Then he stepped out of the airport without any hesitation.
An officer in charge of the Immigration Police said in the first light that on the morning of December 24, Motiar returned to Dhaka from Colombo.
