A Dhaka court on Sunday placed Milton Samaddar, chairman of Child & Old Age Care, on a four-day remand in a human trafficking case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Shanta Akter passed the order when investigating officer Mohammad Kamal Hossain, sub-inspector of Mirpur Zonal Team, produced him before the court after completion of his three-day remand in another case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehera Mahbub granted the petition of police to show him arrest in the case, said sub-inspector Saiful Islam of Mirpur Model Police Station .

Earlier on May 2, a Dhaka court placed him on a three-day remand in a case over alleged death certificate forgery.

Detectives on Wednesday (May 1) arrested Milton from the city’s Mirpur area.

Samaddar, who had been recognised for his public service through various awards, was allegedly involved in significant wrongdoing. While his social media profile publicized his work in building an old age home for the helpless and providing shelter to the homeless, more sinister allegations have surfaced.

Allegations include the illegal trade of human organs, specifically pointing to the cutting and selling of kidneys.
