The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Bangladesh Police has filed a money laundering case against nine individuals, including Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) chief Nathan Bom, over the illegal transaction of BDT 1.62 crore meant for manufacturing 40,000 sets of camouflage uniforms for the armed group.

CID Special Superintendent of Police (Media) Md. Sufi Ullah confirmed the development on Thursday (October 8, 2026), stating that the case was registered under Section 4(2) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012, at Bayazid Bostami Police Station in Chittagong. The accused include KNF chief Nathana Loncheo alias Nathan Bom (49), Monghulasin Marma alias Mong (38), Niaz Haider (39), Md. Golam Azam (47), Sahedul Islam (27), Mohammad Kamruzzaman (58), Jamalul Islam (45), Md. Touhidul Islam (38), and Md. Motiur Rahman (43). The case follows a police raid initiated in May 2025, during which 20,300 sets of four-color camouflage uniforms were seized from a warehouse and garment factory in Bayazid Bostami, Chittagong. Financial investigations by the CID revealed that BDT 90.59 lakh was transferred to Well Composite Knit Ltd. for fabric production using false commercial orders, alongside BDT 72 lakh disbursed across multiple apparel factories for stitching, bringing the total illegal transaction network to BDT 1,62,59,500. CID officials confirmed that further investigations into the banking channels and funding sources are actively ongoing.
