Army alerts people about extortion using its name

The Bangladesh Army has informed its citizens that their names are being used in extortion efforts and that searches are being carried out at a number of public and private offices and residences.

“It has been seen that some self-obsessed people in civil dresses impersonating them as members of the Bangladesh Army nowadays are carrying out searches at the government and corporate offices, family residents, shopping malls and shops and have been trying to extort people through phone calls,” an ISPR press release said.

The release also stated that the Bangladesh Army, dressed in civilian clothes, never conducts such raids without the participation of members of other law enforcement agencies, such as the police.

The citizens have been warned by the Bangladesh Army not to be duped in this regard.

“So, we are earnestly seeking all out cooperation from you to improve the law and order situation,” said the release.
