Lane-1 of Wari's Lalmohon Saha Street is just a mere five-feet wide.

In the middle of the lane, there is a corridor through which even two people would not be able pass through at once. Around 12 to 15 steps into the corridor, one would find the main entrance of a six-storey building. On the ground floor, there is a 400sqft flat with three rooms.

From the small flat, members of the Rapid Action Battalion yesterday recovered Tk 26.55 crore in cash and fixed deposit receipts worth Tk 5.15 crore.

They also recovered around one kilogram of gold, $ 9,300, 174 Malaysian ringgit, 5,350 Indian rupees, 1,195 Chinese yen, 11,560 Thai baht, 100 UAE dirhams and some gambling chips from the same flat, which is nothing less than a personal bank, said Lt Col Rakibul Hasan, director of Rab-3.

Rab made the recovery following a twelve-hour long special drive, that began around 12:30am, said the director, while addressing a spot briefing.


The entire six-storey building was owned by Enamul Haque Enu, former vice-president of Gendaria Awami League, and Rupon Bhuiyan, the unit's joint general secretary, who are now popularly known as "the casino brothers" for their involvement in the illegal casino business.

Both brothers are now in jail after being arrested on January 13.

Rab officials said, they are primarily suspecting that the money was collected from their illegal casino business. Enu and Rupon were the directors of the casino in the Wanderer's Club in Motijheel.
