The counterfeiters had been doing business after Eid on the fifth and sixth floors of a building at 25/2 Purana Paltan Lane, just south of the BNP party office.
They lived in different places outside Dhaka city fearing that law enforcement would carry out raids before Eid. After Eid, they set up large factories in Paltan to do business in the hope that the law enforcement agencies would not look for them.
Shahin, the alleged financier of this factory, has been accused in multiple cases. The others accused have also been remanded in custody in multiple cases.
