A separate court in Dhaka on November 10, 2020, showed Samrat and Arman arrested in the case. CID filed the case with Ramna police station on September 13, 2020.

The specialized law enforcement agency accused Samrat of amassing Tk195 crore illegally and laundering that to Singapore and Malaysia with the assistance of his associate, Arman.

The arrest was made during the crackdown on illegal casinos and money laundering by the government.
