Fake magistrate jailed for deceiving people
A Mobile court in Dhaka on Tuesday sentenced a man to six months in jail for swindling people by introducing him as an executive magistrate.
The convicted has been identified as Mohammad Bin Jahir alias Sumon Bhuiya.
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) sources said Sumon went to a restaurant in Gulshan in the afternoon. He posed himself as executive magistrate of DNCC and demanded Tk 10,000 from the manager.
The manager kept the imposter occupied and contacted DNCC Executive Magistrate Sajid Anwar who arrived at the scene within a short time.
The imposter in primary questioning revealed that he had been swindling people by posing as an executive magistrate.
Two expensive smartphones and Tk 11,000 were seized from Sumon, reports UNB.
