Milton Samaddar placed on 4-day remand in human trafficking case

 

DHAKA, May 5, 2024 (BSS) - A court here today placed Child and Old Age Care
founder Milton Samadder on four-day remand in a human trafficking case filed
with the capital's Mirpur Model Police Station.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Shanta Akter passed the order as police
produced him before the court and pleaded to show him arrested in the case
and place him on seven-day remand.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain on May 2 had
placed Milton on three-day remand in a case lodged for allegedly making fake
death certificates to bury people who died in his centre.

According to the case documents, Milton used to run his Child and Old Age
Care, posing as a doctor and used to make touching video contents for social
networking sites and earn money by posting and publishing those on different
sites.
 
Milton allegedly used to torture the people, who took shelter in his centre,
and let them to suffer and subsequently die without giving them proper food
and treatment. He is also accused of being involved in human organ
trafficking business and used to make fake death certificates to hastily bury
people who died in his centre.

He is also accused of being involved in human trafficking as one M Rakib, 35,
from Dhanmondi, Dhaka, found a two-year-old baby in front of Dhanmandi Boys
School on September 6, 2020, and called Milton to take necessary steps.
Milton took the baby to his centre and Taka 10,000 from Rakib as admission
fee of the unattended baby.

Recently as different allegations were surfacing against Milton, as Rakib
went to his centre on April 24, he did not find the baby and Milton too
failed to give any logical answer in this regard.

Later, Rakib filed the case under The Prevention and Suppression of Human
Trafficking Act, 2012, on May 1.
