RAB arrested him from the Gulshan area of the capital on Wednesday late at night. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Imran Khan of the media wing of RAB headquarters informed this information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He told the media that a murder case has been filed against 17 people, including former commerce minister Tipu Munshi, in connection with the death of a gold worker named Muslim Uddin Milan, who was shot dead in a clash with the police and Awami League activists during the anti-discrimination student movement in Rangpur. Imran Khan said that he has been arrested in that case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On August 22, Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) froze the bank accounts of Tipu Munshi and his family members. Along with that, the bank account transactions of the businesses owned by them were also suspended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A case was filed against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 119 people in connection with the death of autorickshaw driver Manik Mia in Rangpur on August 20 during the student-public movement. The accused in that case is Tipu Munshi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tipu Munshi was defeated in the eighth national election in 2001 from the Rangpur-4 seat on the nomination of the Awami League. After that, in the 2008 ninth, 2014 tenth, and 2018 eleventh national parliamentary elections, he was elected as a member of parliament from the Rangpur-4 (Pirgacha-Kaunia) seat on the nomination of the Awami League. He was a member of the Standing Committee on Textiles and Jute Ministry in the 9th National Parliament, the President of the Standing Committee on the Ministry of Home Affairs, and a member of the Standing Committee on the Ministry of Finance in the 10th National Parliament. From January 7, 2019, he served as Commerce Minister in Sheikh Hasina&#8217;s fourth cabinet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On August 5, 2024, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned in the face of the Non-Cooperation Movement and fled to India. The next day, on August 6, the President dissolved the Parliament, and she lost her position as a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime Desk: Former Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi has been arrested.
