RAB nabs an Indian 'bookie'
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) yesterday arrested a suspected Indian cricket bookie from the Benapole immigration check post.
According to Monir Hossain, the officer-in-charge of the check post, an embargo was imposed on the person three days before.
"One of our teams arrested the person while he attempted to go home. He is also a member of an international gold smuggling syndicate. He might have come to Bangladesh for betting in the ICC World T20," said Monir.
"He was arrested as soon as he deposited his passport," he added.
Law enforcement agencies took the arrestee away for interrogation last night.
The shortest format of the game has been a favourite among the bookies to host bets. Bookies were caught by law enforcement agencies during the Bangladesh Premier League as well.
