Dhaka: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has filed a Taka 107 crore money laundering case against Khandaker Enayet Ullah, former general secretary of the Dhaka Road Transport Owners Association and owner of Ena Transport. The case was lodged with Ramna Police Station on November 25 following initial findings that he and his associates amassed large sums through long-term, organized extortion in the transport sector.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the case was filed against Enayet Ullah Khan and his five associates under section 4(2) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012 (Amended 2015). Senior Police Super of CID (media) Md Jasim Uddin Khan confirmed the filing of the case.
CID's Financial Crime Unit reports that Ullah built extensive influence in the transport industry over nearly four decades, using political connections and organizational dominance to control bus routes, terminals, and owners' associations nationwide. Investigators say syndicates under his direction collected daily and monthly extortion, along with hefty payments for new route permits and bus purchases.
A court had earlier ordered in July 2025 to freeze 53 bank accounts with Taka 110 crore and attach four properties worth Taka 10 crore. The CID reports show Taka 2,131 crore was deposited and Taka 2,007 crore withdrawn from 199 accounts linked to Ullah and his family, including business accounts of Ena Transport and Ena Food and Beverage. Using "structuring" or "smart layering," investigators estimate Taka 107.32 crore was laundered.
