The investigation into the Bangladeshi National ID scam involving Rohingyas, which was filed in 2019, remains incomplete even after five years. Despite the probe revealing the involvement of senior Election Commission (EC) officials, it has largely stalled. The case is expected to be handed over to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) due to the emergence of sensitive information during the investigation. The ACC had initially uncovered that Rohingyas had been added to the Bangladeshi NID database using EC laptops, and several laptops used for data entry were found missing. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Chattogram is currently handling the case, following a transfer from the Counter-Terrorism (CT) Division. Although investigations have uncovered the involvement of over 20 EC officials in the syndicate responsible for issuing NID cards to Rohingyas, the CID has not made significant progress in arresting higher-ranking officials, despite having their names. The investigation is delayed partly due to the legal complexities involved in arresting government officials. Despite arrests, including several EC staffers, and confessional statements from some of the suspects, the investigation has not advanced. There are concerns that the racket may become active again, especially as the EC works on registering new voters. Police are worried that Rohingyas may exploit the same syndicate to obtain NID cards, and there is pressure to conclude the investigation soon due to national security concerns.
