Top Bangladesh writer held over child pornography
Print Edition
BANGLADESH police have arrested a leading writer for running an organized gang that used street children in pornographic films for foreign clients, an official said yesterday.
AYM Fakhruzzaman, popularly known by his pen-name Tipu Kibria, was arrested early last week along with three of his accomplices after a tip-off from the international police organization Interpol, police said.
“We acted immediately after we were informed by Interpol,” said Shah Alam, a senior official in the police Criminal Investigation Department, adding the offenses began in 2005.
Kibria, 47, has written more than 50 books and his six horror novels for young and adolescent readers are best-sellers. He also edited a magazine for young readers for years.
Police found several thousand pornographic photos and some videos of street children at his studio in Dhaka’s Mugda neighborhood, Alam said. “What we have found is beyond our imagination,” he added.
Police also rescued a 12-year-old child from the studio.
“He told a magistrate how he was lured and abused by this gang,” Alam said, adding the writer and his accomplices had admitted their crimes.
“Since 2005, they have abused around 400 boys, mostly aged between 10-12. Their main target was street kids,” he said.
