Serious allegation has already been raised by a local trading company, which was already made captive of the limitless notoriety of Colonel [Retired] Md. Shahid Uddin Khan, who proclaims to be business associated and batch-mate of Major General [Retired] Tarique Ahmed Siddique, the defense advisor of Prime Minister of Bangladesh.
In a written complaint sent to the Bangladeshi Prime Minister on March 13, 2012, Francis Arif of Time Investments wrote "It is with pain and agony that I am writing this letter drawing your attention to the gangland and commando style activities of a few claiming to be associates and business partners of your family members and your Defense Advisor; and seeking your urgent intervention, because law enforcement agencies of Bangladesh are unable to provide us any succour or help fearing wrath of these so called NEO-LORDS of Bangladesh."
It may be mentioned here that Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan, as usual, exerted his undue influence and sent a team of Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] led by Major Mushtaq and Captain Farooq during late hours of February 28, 2012 and conducted a raid at the residence of Francis Arif. The team of RAB men tried to frighten the elderly mother of Francis Arif, who was not in Bangladesh at that time. In the written complaint, Francis Arif claims that Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan "maintains a potent underground and illegal commando style network manned by retired army personnel and terrorists."
It may be mentioned here that, Rapid Action Battalion is infamous world-wide for extra-judicial murders and in recent days, the cases of abduction and secret killings have reached a very alarming level in Bangladesh.
Francis Arif claims that Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan and his gang have established a network within the Prime Minister's Office, which stops any complaint about their activities reaching the desk of the Prime Minister.
It may be mentioned here that, since Awami League came in power in 2009, just within the span of 2 years, Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan suddenly turned into a multi-millionaire. He already has smuggled out millions of dollars from Bangladesh and invested or deposited such amount in several countries, including United Kingdom. It is also learnt that, this ex army officer is holding huge amount of money in foreign banks in the names of his wife and daughters.
Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan is one of the closest associates of fraudulent multi level marketing [MLM] company named Destiny 2000 Limited and destiny Group. Managing director of this fraudulent MLM Company maintains intimate connections with Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan and his family and regularly visits Colonel Shahid's residence in United Kingdom. Some people believe, Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan has active hands behind Destiny Group's smuggling of billions of dollars to some countries.
Bangladeshi intelligence agencies as well as Anti Corruption Commission has already started investigation into the documented smuggling of huge amount of money by Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan to United Kingdom. Sensing legal consequences and stern action, Colonel [Retired] Shahid Uddin Khan has started lobbying in various offices of the government by taking help from the intelligence agencies. He also is trying to use the influence of Major General [Retired] Tarique Ahmed Siddique in escaping possible legal actions.
