‘A fraudster and two associates have been arrested on charges of defrauding people by sending them abroad under the guise of 'MP Mizanur'. Parliament security personnel arrested three members of the fraudster gang during the National Parliament session last Saturday. They are on a three-day remand at the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in the capital.

This gang has extorted crores of taka from at least 40 people by promising to send them to the European country Kosovo. The fake MP Shamimur Rahman alias Atiq alias MP Mizanur was assisted in this work by Rahul Hossain, a computer operator appointed as the master roll of the Parliament Secretariat. Through him, the alleged MP used to collect passes to enter the Parliament and regularly come and go to the Parliament. In addition, numerous people who wanted to go abroad were cheated by giving them the opportunity to enter the Parliament with the gate passes.

The victims of the fraud, Mehedi Hasan of Barguna, Nahidul Islam of Natore and Aminul Haque of Habiganj, have filed a case against Shamimur Rahman and his associates at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station. The investigation officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Anwar Hossain Khan, told Samakal on Wednesday night that the three-day remand of the accused will end on Thursday. The case has been filed on charges of impersonating an MP and embezzling Tk 16 lakh 92 thousand by cheating. An investigation is underway.

Mehedi Hasan, the plaintiff in the case, said that Shamimur Rahman alias Mizanur's home is in Jagatpur, Titas Upazila, Comilla. In Dhaka, he lives in Mohammadpur Housing Society. He also implicated his wife Moutusi Rahman in the fraud. One of Mizanur's associates was Rahul Hossain, a computer operator who was appointed to the master roll of the Parliament Secretariat. His home is in Kamalpur, Mithamoin, Kishoreganj district. In Dhaka, he lives in Satmasjid Housing, Mohammadpur.

Mehedi Hasan alleged that Shamimur Rahman introduced himself as MP Mizanur and collected blood samples from him through Rahul, the computer operator of the Parliament House, claiming to be sending him to Kosovo with a government job. Mizanur charged 594,000 taka for medical fees at various times. The last time he charged 66,000 taka on the ground floor of the Parliament House on February 29.
The case report states that Mizanur took Tk 660,000 from 40 people for medical fees and Tk 92,000 each for emergency police clearance from 23 people. Last Friday, he took Tk 940,000 from 15 people at the Metsafe restaurant on the second floor of the Parliament Club, saying that a team from the Kosovo Embassy would come to interview those interested in going abroad.

People started to suspect Mizanur as there was no embassy team during the interview. At one point, they learned that Mizanur was a fake MP and the woman posing as a representative of the Kosovo embassy on the interview board was his wife, Moutusi Rahman.
