গুলশানে কিংফিশার রেস্তোরাঁয় অভিযান: বিলবোর্ডের আড়ালে গোপন গুদাম, বিপুল মদ-বিয়ার জব্দ

A joint team of four National Board of Revenue (NBR) intelligence agencies raided Kingfisher Restaurant Ltd in Gulshan, Dhaka, starting around 12:30am on Sunday, 25 October 2026, and continuing for about three hours. According to an NBR press release issued on Monday, the operation followed confidential information that alcohol and alcoholic beverages were being procured and sold while evading duties. The team seized alcohol and alcoholic beverages without valid documents. NBR said the raid aimed to check whether the alcohol came from illegal sources or smuggling, whether VAT was evaded, whether sales were declared in income tax returns, and whether money laundering was involved. The agencies named were the Central Intelligence Cell, CIID, TIIU and VAIID, with support from SRB-1. NBR has not specified the quantity or value of the seized alcohol, and said details on potential evasion and legal action would follow.

Where accounts differ. Independent Television reports that the raid established evidence of duty-evading procurement and sale and mentions money laundering, while UNB and Daily Bangladesh describe these as allegations under investigation and do not mention a press conference that Independent Television says NBR scheduled for that afternoon.
