Dhaka court grants remand for 37 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals
DHAKA, Dec. 24 (NsNewsWire) — A Dhaka court has granted two-day remand to each of the 37 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals who were arrested Sunday night on charge of operating operating illegal Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), also known as call bypass.
Dhaka’s Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim gave police two days for more interrogation in a case against them.
All the arrestees were produced before the court on Tuesday afternoon.
Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Sunday night arrested the Chinese and Taiwanese citizens on charge of operating illegal VoIP for over one and a half year in Dhaka’s posh Uttara area.
A police official then said RAB personnel also seized huge VoIP instruments from the possession of the accused most aged in their twenties and thirties — who rented a six-storey building for running the illegal VoIP operations.
