"We received an order to investigate the two cases on Wednesday night," Sarwar Bin Kashem, RAB’s legal and media wing director, told bdnews24.com on Thursday. Samrat and his close aide Arman were arrested by RAB in Cumilla’s Chauddagram on Oct 6 over his alleged ties to casino business in the capital. The RAB later conducted a five-hour raid on Samrat’s office in Kakrail’s Bhuiyan Trade Centre with him in tow. Two cases were also filed against him under the Narcotics Control Act and Arms Act with the Ramna Police Station. But the police’s plea for a 20-day remand to grill Samrat in the cases was stayed after he was hospitalised for chest pains.
