Criminal Investigation Department today said that they arrested a man, who was involved in kidnapping for ransom of around 100 Bangladeshis in the middle-east countries including Iran and Turkey.

CID officials arrested Nannu Miah, 50, after a flight carrying him landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka last night, Rayhan Uddin Khan, additional superintendent of CID, told The Daily Star.

Nannu and his aides used to claim ransoms from the families after abducting Bangladeshi nationals in the middle-east countries, Khan added.

 Details about the arrest will be made public at a press briefing at CID office at Malibagh in Dhaka later in the day.
