Chattogram District Police have arrested Md Hridoy Ahmed Shawon, alias “Bullet”, over a viral video showing seven pistols lined up in front of a man who issued threatening messages.
He was arrested from Noakhali on Monday, said a press release issued by Chattogram District Police today (11 November).
Hridoy is the son of Badsha Mia from Bagoan union in Raozan upazila.
Police said Hridoy had recorded photographs and videos of firearms on his mobile phone on various occasions, as well as audio recordings of threatening conversations.
He allegedly used the material to threaten individuals with death and demand extortion money.
The 21-second video, which circulated widely on social media, shows several pistols arranged in a row on a piece of cloth.
However, the video is not recent.
Earlier, Mohammad Belayet Hossain, assistant superintendent of police for the Raozan-Rangunia Circle, said that the footage dated from before December 2025.
Police had found the video on Hridoy’s mobile phone after detaining him in December that year. He was also questioned about it at the time.
During preliminary questioning following his recent arrest on Monday, Hridoy reportedly told police that the firearms shown in the video belonged to a man named Kamal from the Noapara area of Raozan.
On 30 October 2025, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Kamal with a large cache of firearms. Police subsequently recovered additional weapons linked to the same arms cache during several operations.
