Dhaka Metropolitan Police have claimed that their investigation did not find any police official's involvement in the recent ATM booth forgery.
Monirul Islam, chief of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit, made the statement in reply to a query from journalists in a press conference held in DMP media centre on Tuesday.
The brief was called on the occasion of arresting ten yaba traders along with a large drug haul in the capital.
“Still now, we have not found any policeman involved in the forgery. We have questioned 3-4 suspects who are now under our surveillance as well. We will arrest them after scrutinising their transaction,” Monirul said.

The police connection came to light as investigators some days ago unearthed the involvement of an inspector-level officer of the DMP’s Gulshan Division in the forgery and the inspector was transferred to a police station in Rangpur range.
Besides, investigation against two other police officers is underway for their alleged connection with a gang that had collected information of more than 4,000 debit and credit card users in the last one year.
Police initially traced the connection of some 40-50 people and institutions with the gang and they were investigating into the allegations, said DMP's newly formed specialised unit head, adding that listing of the affected banks in the forgery was underway.
