How Enamul Haque smuggled cattle by the thousands into Bangladesh for years
Arrested in Delhi a couple of months ago, Enamul Haque’s operation has now been busted. This report traces his fascinating journey, from smuggling a single animal across the Bangladesh border, to ending up with a net worth of Rs 2,000 crore and acquiring and renting properties across Asia.

The first bovine Enamul Haque smuggled to Bangladesh was a calf. In the summer of 1994 he carried the animal in his arms and walked across the border into a village in Bangladesh in broad daylight.
A frail figure then, Haque was not checked or stopped by anyone, earned Rs 3,000 and did not share the spoils. It was his first income, a cent per cent profit he had stolen the calf from an Indian village. Haque was testing the waters, he had heard from his neighbours how cow smuggling was lucrative and buyers wanted more supplies.
