GP employee Rubel Mahmud Anik was named as the second accused while Parveen Akter Nupur was named as third,” Police official Hafiz told bdnews24.com. Anik allegedly used to steal user’s private information and passed them on to Nupur in exchange for money. “Anik, who works at GP’s customer service centre, supplied an organised blackmailing group with confidential customer information used on their SIM registration in exchange for money. Using the information, the group has blackmailed many people and swindled hundreds of thousands of taka out of them,” Hafiz said. Hafiz said Anik and Nurpur were currently behind bars and police would apply for a 10-day remand to quiz them.
