"Bangladesh arrests recruiting agent over death of domestic worker Kulsum in Saudi Arabia,"
Mokbul was apprehended from the office of his company, MH Trade International, in the capital's Fakirapool during a raid on Thursday, said Polash Kumar Basu, an executive magistrate of the RAB.
He is charged with falsifying 14-year-old Kulsum's age to 26 in her travel documents when she was sent to the Middle-Eastern country.
Kulsum was allegedly tortured to death in a Saudi Arabian hospital on Aug 9. Her body was flown back home on Sept 11...
The RAB-3 arrested another suspect alongside Mokbul during the raid, according to Polash. Legal action will be taken against them once the raid is completed, he said.
