On Monday, March 3, CID spokesperson and Additional Superintendent of Police, Jasim Uddin Khan, confirmed the arrest of Imran Hossain.

According to CID sources, Imran was arrested in connection with a money laundering case involving 133 crore BDT. A press briefing on the matter is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, at 3 PM at the CID Headquarters Media Center.

Earlier, CID's Financial Crime Unit filed a case against Imran Hossain, Touhidul Alam Zenith, and their company, Sadiq Agro, under the Money Laundering Prevention Act. Investigations revealed that Sadiq Agro was involved in smuggling, fraud, and violating government regulations by illegally importing Brahma cattle and smuggling small-sized Bhutanese cattle from Bhutan and Nepal for sale in Bangladesh. The company allegedly deceived buyers by falsely marketing local cattle and goats as high-breed foreign livestock and selling them at inflated prices during the Qurbani season.
