Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Intelligence Analysis Division, SRU, arrested a man while he was allegedly attempting a mugging during a special operation to prevent mugging and control crime in Dhaka.[1] The arrested man was identified as 35-year-old Md Manik Hossain Molla.[1] The arrest was carried out by the Intelligence Analysis Division, SRU, of the DMP as part of that anti-mugging drive.[1]
Officers detained him at about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, 2 November 2026, from the footpath in front of West Kawran Bazar in Tejgaon while he was allegedly attempting a mugging.[1] At the same time, officers recovered 50 grams of ganja from his custody.[1] Ganja is the local Bengali term for cannabis, so the 50-gram seizure is recorded as 0.05 kg of cannabis.[1]
He was handed over to Tejgaon police station for further legal action.[1] Legal proceedings against him were reported to be under way.[1] The published account places the street detention and the small cannabis recovery as parts of one overnight enforcement action in the Tejgaon area.[1]
