The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested Md Ekhlash Ali (30) on charges of producing, storing, and distributing pornographic videos involving underage children.
Ekhlash worked as an assistant manager in the IT department at Hossain Dyeing and Printing Mills Limited in Gazipur.
CID conducted a raid in the Pagar Pathanpara area of Tongi on Sunday and apprehended him. During the arrest, authorities seized a smartphone containing multiple child pornography videos.
CID Special Superintendent (Media) Jasim Uddin Khan confirmed the details to Times of Bangladesh on Monday.
According to CID investigators, the agency received intelligence from Interpol’s Crimes Against Children Unit through the National Central Bureau (NCB). CID’s Cyber Intelligence and Risk Management Team then tracked the suspect’s location using digital forensics before conducting the operation.
Special SP Jasim Uddin Khan stated that during preliminary interrogation, Ekhlash Ali admitted to his involvement in the crimes. A case has been filed against him under the Pornography Control Act at Paltan Police Station.
