Top fugitive criminal Zeesan Ahmed, wanted by DMP in murder and explosives cases, has been arrested in the UAE.
Zeesan, who is on the Interpol's red notice list, was apprehended by police in Dubai four days ago but his identity was confirmed on Wednesday, said Mohiul Islam, the assistant inspector general (national central bureau) of the police headquarters.
"At the time of his arrest, he was carrying an Indian passport which identified him as Akbar Chowdhury. Later the National Central Bureau in Dhaka and its Dubai counterpart analysed and exchanged information to uncover his real identity as Bangladesh's top criminal Zeesan."
The law-enforcement agency in Bangladesh is preparing the necessary paperwork that will be sent to Dubai for his extradition, bdnews24 reported quoting Mohiul.
