Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has detained five men from Dhaka's Kamalapur Railway Station for alleged black marketing of train tickets ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
Acting on a tip-off that a group was selling tickets for different trains at inflated prices taking advantage of the Eid rush, a RAB-3 team conducted a drive at the railway station at 8:45pm Monday and detained the men.
The detainees were identified as Md Liton Mia, 37, Md Shah Lam, 34, Md Imran, 20, Md Abu Taher, 26, and Md Zahidur Rahman Shakib, 40, RAB-3 said in a media release on Tuesday.
Four train tickets and Tk6,927 in cash were seized from the detainees, said RAB-3. During questioning, the accused admitted to the crime.
Legal action will be taken against the detainees, said the release.
