Man arrested for fraudulently representing NHRC, extorting money
A man, serving as the secretary general of an illegal organisation named Bangladesh Human Rights Commission, has been apprehended for deceiving and extorting money from people by falsely associating with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
In response to numerous cases of private human rights organisations using its name for fraudulent purposes, the NHRC conducted a press conference at 2:30 pm on Tuesday.
The NHRC expressed concern over the confusion created by an NGO called Bangladesh Human Rights Commission, which includes the word "commission" in its name, leading to misperception among various domestic and international public and private entities.
