Mentioning that there is a human trafficking cell in the CID which is kept open round the clock, the CID additional IGP said legal steps are being taken against the human trafficking gang after lodging complaints.
Apart from this, "We will take legal action if anyone files a case over what we saw at the airport on 31 May. We will bring not only the trafficking case but also the illegal sending of workers or the transfer of money illegally converted under the money laundering case."
Replying to a question about how much money has been laundered in the past one year, the CID official said they have no information about it as the Bangladesh Bank is monitoring it.
Responding to a question about the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist, Mohammad Ali said the CID will submit the chargesheet after completing the investigation within two or one month.
