DHAKA, Jan 22, 2026 (BSS) - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has confiscated immovable properties of Monirul Islam, a Facebook fraudster, in favor of the state after uncovering a large-scale fraud carried out through Facebook. According to CID officials, the seized assets were purchased with money embezzled by fraudster Monirul Islam, who used Facebook to deceive victims from various professional backgrounds, particularly elderly individuals. Using fake identities, Monirul used to send friend requests to different persons in Facebook impersonating him as a doctor, a college principal, or even the Prime Minister’s personal secretary. Monirul Islam was named as the accused in the case. Based on these findings, the CID applied to the court, which subsequently ordered the confiscation of the illegally acquired properties of Monirul Islam.
