The Globetrotters eNewsletter Bangladeshi Bus Bust
Police in Bangladesh have announced new measures to combat
the organised gangs who are terrorising transport owners, workers and
passengers into handing over money at many of the capital, Dhaka’s
bus terminals. The Bangladesh Rifles have combined with a newly formed
Rapid Action Team in an attempt to bring the practice to an end. 72 people
have been arrested so far, accused of terrorising drivers and passengers
into handing over money to criminal organisations.
