The Customs Intelligence and Investigation Department (CIID) has summoned the owners of Apan Jewellers for storing gold and diamond jewelries without proper documents.
They have been asked to be present at CIID’s Kakrail headquarters on May 17.
Meanwhile, the CIID also summoned the managing director of Banani’s Raintree hotel for storing liquor without licence.
Customs intelligence officials raided Apan Jewellers outlets in Gulshan, Uttara, Mouchak and Simanto Square on Sunday. They confiscated 286kg of gold 61gm of diamond as Apan Jwellers failed to produce necessary papers for the seized items.
One of its outlets housed at Gulshan’s Suvastu Tower was sealed off while it was found locked during the raid.
Recently, CIID decided to start an inquiry into the finances of Apan Jewellers’ owner Dildar Ahmed and his son Shafaat Ahmed after it had emerged that Shafaat and four of his associates allegedly raped two female university students at Banani’s Raintree hotel on March 28.
The victims lodged a case with Banani police on May 6 which is now being investigated by Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Women Support and Investigation Centre.
Police have arrested accused Shafaat and Shadman Sakif from Syhlet. The other three accused are on the run.
