A stolen motorcycle was recovered and one
person was arrested by the Airport Zone of the Traffic-Uttara Division of the
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) during a traffic inspection operation at the
Airport Outgoing Y-Crossing area in the capital.
The arrested individual has been identified
as Ariful Sagar (30).
According to sources from the Traffic-Uttara
Division, at approximately 9:00 PM on Tuesday (June 23), traffic officers on
duty at the Airport Outgoing Y-Crossing stopped a motorcyclist who was riding without
a helmet. When asked to produce valid registration and ownership documents for
the motorcycle, he failed to do so. Officers also noticed suspicious and
nervous behavior.
As police attempted to verify the
motorcycle’s registration number and collect information about its registered
owner, the suspect suddenly tried to flee the scene. Traffic officers
immediately pursued him and managed to arrest him about half a kilometer away.
During preliminary interrogation, the suspect
admitted that the motorcycle had been stolen. The recovered motorcycle bears
the registration number Dhaka Metro-L-32-4999. He was later handed over to
Airport Police Station along with the recovered motorcycle.
Legal proceedings against the arrested
individual are currently underway.
According to information from Airport Police
Station, Ariful Sagar was allegedly involved in the theft of a motorcycle from
the Airport area about six months ago and was also linked to a gold theft
incident in the Bashundhara Residential Area.
