The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has officially launched an investigation into the recent white stone looting incident in Sylhet, amid growing public concern and multiple intelligence inputs.
The Financial Crime Unit of the CID has initiated the probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012, said Jasim Uddin Khan, special SP (Media) of CID.
Preliminary findings suggest the involvement of around 50 individuals.
Investigators suspect that the looting was orchestrated by organised crime groups aiming to profit financially from large-scale environmental exploitation.
"The CID is committed to taking appropriate legal action against all those involved in this crime," said Jasim Uddin Khan.
