A group of 10-15 members of Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal went to a house in West Manipur, Mirpur, the capital, on Sunday night. The man, 56-year-old Sirajul Islam, used to be a member of the Sramik League. At 10 pm, Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal leaders entered his house and said, “You are an Awami League member, you are an Awami fascist, I will hand you over to the police, if you want to live, give me 20 lakh taka.” After that, their intimidation and threats continued, while Sirajul’s family pleaded. At 3 am, Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal leaders and activists left the house with 5 lakh taka.
A team from Mirpur Police Station arrived at the scene after entering the house and receiving information about the extortion. They arrested four of the extortionists. 16 thousand taka and a motorcycle were recovered from them. The others in the group fled with the rest of the money. The police and the victim’s family members reported this information.
Among the four arrested in the extortion case are Mirpur Police Station Chhatra Dal Senior Joint Convener Md. Atiqur Rahman alias Mintu (35) and Joint Convener Tabit Ahmed Anwar alias Anwar Hossain Tabit (35). Apart from this, the other two arrested are Md. Ratan Mia (34) associated with the Jubo Dal of a ward in Mirpur, and Md. Ismail Hossain (24) associated with the politics of Mirpur Police Station Chhatra Dal, according to the police.
In this regard, Mirpur Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md. Sajjad Roman told Prothom Alo on Monday that he received a call from the Manipur area on his official number late last night, informing him that Sirajul, who was posing as a police officer, was extorting money. After that, the Mirpur Police Station went to the spot. After receiving the information, RAB also reached there. Then the four people were arrested in a chase.
Sirajul Islam’s wife Jahanara Islam filed an extortion case with Mirpur Model Police Station this morning, accusing the four arrested people and 8-10 unidentified people. The four leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal were sent to the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court today after being shown arrested in that case. The court later sent them to jail.
