DHAKA, March 21, 2025 (BSS) – As part of the campaign against black
marketing of train tickets, Dhaka Railway Police today arrested one
person along with 21 tickets.
 
The arrested was identified as Rakib Mia (24), a professional black
marketer of railway tickets.
    
Being tipped off, police arrested Rakib from Kamalapur Railway Station
around 6am today and seized 21 railway tickets from his possession,
said a press release.
 
The arrestee has advertised on different social networking sites
including facebook to sell the ticket to the passengers at a higher price
than the actual one.
 
Rakib opened five railway service apps using his own NID and mobile
number and four other NIDs and mobile numbers to collect inter-city train
tickets online on various routes including Dhaka to Kishoreganj.
 
Afterward he sold the tickets to interested passengers through the
Facebook page called Kishorganj Train Ticket Buy Sell and Exchange
and then send a PDF copy of the ticket to the customer over mobile
phone.
 
A regular case was registered with Dhaka Railway Police Station in this
connection.
