Bangladesh Police Detain 63 Foreigners in Chattogram Online Fraud Raid
Bangladesh police detained 63 foreigners, mainly from Laos, Pakistan, and China, in a predawn raid at an eight-storey building in Chattogram on charges of online fraud. The detainees include 41 men, 21 women, and a child. Authorities seized mobile phones, laptops, foreign currency, and are examining data from the devices. The detainees' legal documents are under scrutiny. This follows a similar raid in Cox's Bazar where several foreigners were arrested for online scamming activities.
