A Dhaka court Monday placed Milton Samadder, founder of Child and Old Age Care, on a four-day remand in a case filed over human trafficking.

Metropolitan Magistrate Shanta Akter of Dhaka CMM Court passed the order after Investigation Officer Sikdar Mohitul Alam, Inspector of the Detective Branch (DB) of police, produced the accused with a seven-day remand appeal.

Earlier in the day, Milton was produced in the court on completion of a three-day remand in a case filed over fraudulence.

On Thursday, another Dhaka court granted the remand after he was produced with a seven-day remand appeal in the fraudulence case.

On the same day, DB Sub-Inspector Kamal Pasha filed the case with Mirpur Model Police Station against two people including Milton on charge of unauthorized burial and making fake death certificates.

Detectives detained Milton from the capital's Mirpur on May 1 following media reports on his alleged irregularities and crimes centering the care home.

Milton’s social service activities centering the care home are widely publicized through social media. On social media, it is seen that he serves the helpless, rescues sick elderly people and vagabonds from the streets and gives shelters in old age care.

He also seeks donations from affluent people to run the facilities.

However, a Bangla daily recently reported that he was allegedly involved in misappropriating money through exaggerating numbers of shelter seekers, deception, and land grabbing. - Special Correspondent
