In this context, the Enforcement Team of the ACC conducted a sudden drive in the Haj Agency of Al-Mujdalifa Aviation located in Medina Tower of Purana Paltan.

A seven-member team, including a police led by Assistant Director Masudur Rahman, participated in the operation. Four teams of Haj pilgrims received complaints and information during ACC team operation. Apart from the agency's trade license and other information including e-TIN, it is collected.
