Uttara West Police Station has arrested four people, including Biman Bangladesh Airlines Managing Director and CEO Md. Shafiqur Rahman and his wife Bithi, in a case filed against them for torturing a child domestic worker.

On Monday, February 2, Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Uttara Division Deputy Commissioner (DC) Md. Shahriar Ali confirmed the arrest.

DC Shahriar said that Shafiqur Rahman, Managing Director of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, has been arrested.

When asked, Uttara West Police Station OC Rafiq Ahmed said, “An 11-year-old child domestic worker was brutally tortured. A case has been registered in this incident. Shafiqur Rahman, his wife Bithi and two other domestic workers of the house were arrested in that case at around 3:30 am last night.”

The sudden arrest of this top official of the state-owned airline has created a huge stir in the administrative and related circles. However, Biman Bangladesh Airlines has not officially responded to this matter so far.

Dr. Shafiqur Rahman completed his graduation and post-graduation in Economics from the University of Dhaka. He started his career as a trainee commercial officer at Biman Bangladesh Airlines in 1986.
