Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested two persons for forging driving licences from the capital’s Khilgaon area yesterday.
The two arrested – Masum Parvez and his associate Al Amin – used to make identity cards for school goers in Nilkhet area, however, later, they got involved with a gang who supply fake driving licenses to drivers of light vehicles like CNG autorickshaw and human hauliers.
The arrested duo received the orders through brokers from different parts of the city and earned Tk1,000-4,000 per card, said DB Joint Commissioner Md Monirul Islam at a press briefing yesterday.
DB officials arrested them around 8pm and also recovered 30 fake driving licenses and materials used for making those including printers and ink from their den.
