The Rapid Action Battalion or RAB subsequently launched a raid on Samrat’s office at the Bhuiyan Trade Centre with him in tow. A mobile court handed Samrat a six-month prison sentence for possession of the kangaroo skins under the Wild Animal Protection Act and he was later sent to the Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj. She added the possession of kangaroo skins for which he was arrested does not fall within the ambit of the Wild Animal Protection Act, the statement said. Charges can’t drawn under the Wild Animal Protection Act as the kangaroo was not shot in Bangladesh." An expatriate Bangladeshi had gifted the kangaroo skins to Samrat, according to Sayera.
