Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-7) recovered TCB goods from a rented house inside Amin Jute Mill in Chattogram.
Abdul Aziz Suman, 35, was selling these goods at a higher price in the open market, even though the government subsidy for low-income people was supposed to be sold at a lower price than the regular market rate.
RAB-7 raided his godown on Saturday and seized 398 liters of soybean oil, 200 kg of pulses and 250 kg of sugar bearing the TCB logo.
RAB arrested Abdul Aziz Sumon on the charge of black market of TCB products. He is the son of Sultan Ahmed of Enayetpur area of Hathazari, Chattogram.
Nurul Abser, senior assistant director of RAB-7, informed this in press release on Sunday. He said, "Sumon has been collecting TCB goods from a dealer named Mohammad Babu and selling them to the market for a long time".
When the price of edible oil is Tk 200, sugar Tk 90 and pulses Tk 140 in the open market, TCB soybean oil is sold at Tk 110, pulses Tk 65 and sugar Tk 55 in the open market at subsidized prices by the government for low income people.
