Sex trafficking to Dubai from Bangladeshi dance clubs. In 2020, dancer and choreographer Ivan Shahriar Sohag was apprehended by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Bangladesh Police. He was acused of his involvement with a trafficking network that transported women to Dubai.

The arrest was conducted by the Dhaka Metro North division of CID. It was confirmed by Additional Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Sheikh Md. Rezaul Haider to The Business Standard.
