Four members of the 'Zakir group'—accused of involvement in mugging, drug trafficking, and various other crimes—have been arrested by police in Dhaka's Mohammadpur area, along with the recovery of native weapons.
The arrests were made during a police raid conducted around 3:50 AM on Sunday (November 15).
Mohammadpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdul Halim stated that, acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Sub-Inspector Raju Ahmed carried out the drive and apprehended Zakir and three of his associates.
During the operation, the suspects reportedly attempted to launch an attack on police personnel. Law enforcement subsequently searched them, seizing a switchblade knife, a cutter, and two samurai swords, alongside drug consumption paraphernalia.
According to the OC, the prime suspect, Zakir, is a marked mugger and Yaba dealer facing 10 criminal cases. Preliminary investigations revealed that his gang operated extensively in areas such as Bosila Garden City, Lautola, and Chand Udyan in Mohammadpur, carrying out frequent muggings.
Police confirmed that legal proceedings are currently underway against the arrested individuals.
