Dhaka, Sep 04 (V7N) – Police have arrested seven individuals impersonating members of the Detective Branch (DB) while they were preparing to commit a robbery in the capital.

Ramna Division Deputy Police Commissioner Masud Alam confirmed the arrests at a press briefing held at the DMP Media Center on Thursday morning. Acting on a secret tip-off, law enforcers detained the suspects from the Golap Shah Mazar area on Wednesday night. Police also seized vehicles and equipment used in the planned robbery.

DC Masud Alam said many of the arrestees are former members of law enforcement agencies, who have previously carried out various crimes under the guise of DB officers. Police are investigating the networks and root causes behind such activities.

He urged the public to remain vigilant and contact local police stations immediately if they face suspicious or unpleasant encounters with individuals claiming to be from law enforcement agencies.
