Interpol has arrested a former senior Bangladeshi police official and an aide linked to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Dubai, according to reports. The individuals are connected to Bangladesh’s law-and-order apparatus, with one of them previously serving in a top policing role and later being associated with the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), a paramilitary force. One report says the United States imposed sanctions on the former official in 2021, citing alleged involvement in hundreds of disappearances and extrajudicial killings during his time heading RAB. The reports add that the arrests occur under Interpol processes and take place in the United Arab Emirates capital, where authorities detain individuals pending further legal steps. The details of the charges or the next stage of proceedings in Dubai are not described in the provided excerpts. The reports also do not include statements from the arrested individuals or their representatives. Overall, the coverage focuses on the Interpol action in Dubai and on the prior U.S. sanctions related to allegations tied to RAB leadership.
