Dancer Ivan Sohag put on 7-day remand

A Dhaka court placed choreographer and dancer Ivan Shahriar Sohag on seven-day remand over his alleged ties to a human trafficking ring that smuggled women to Dubai.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yeasmin Ara passed the order on Monday (September 21).

Earlier on September 15, investigation officer (IO) CID’s Sub-Inspector Md Kamruzzaman produced the accused before the court seeking seven days of remand. Later, the court fixed Monday to hear in the remand order.

Sources said, human trafficking ring leader Azam Khan and his four cohorts were arrested following the information from Dubai police. The human trafficking ring sent women to Dubai on the pretext of getting them jobs before forcing them into ‘sex work.’
