The Detective Branch of Gulshan division of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police has arrested four members of a fraud gang who used account information of master card and visa card holders.

The arrested were Md Sohel Mir, Md Nazmul Hossain, Parul and Md Tara Mia. On Friday, a team of DB Gulshan conducted several raids in the capital, Faridpur and Savar areas and arrested them.

Additional commissioner of the DMP Mohammad Harun-or Rasheed disclosed details about the arrest and the gang at his office compound on Saturday. He said that visa and master cards were being used for electronic payment, shopping and withdrawal of money from ATM booths and mobile recharging in any country of the world.

‘This card is also being used to load money into the Bkash account. But the gang, taking this opportunity, is hacking accounts of card users and withdrawing money. Several cases were filed with Gulshan, Banani and Hatirjheel police stations in this regard,’ Harun said.

He, however, said that the arrested were sent to the court seeking remand. The DB chief also said that efforts were underway to arrest other members of the gang.
