Woman commissioner threatened to withdraw case
Alleged criminals are threatening a newly elected women commissioner of Satkhira pourasava to withdraw an extortion case filed with Satkhira thana against them.
Marzina Khatun, commissioner elected from reserved seat No 3 in the town, filed a General Diary on Monday seeking security of her life, police said.
They said a gang allegedly led by Mohammad Ali, president of Satkhira district Krishak Dal, peasant front of the ruling BNP, entered her house at Palasapole in the town on the night of September 10 and demanded toll. Refused, they snatched her gold chain at gunpoint.
She then filed a case with Satkhira thana accusing Mohammad Ali and 14 others under sections 143/ 147/385/323/427/379/506(2) of BPC.
Since then the miscreants are threatening her to withdraw the case or to face 'dire consequences.'
A gang held by Kala Jahnagir threatened her on Monday morning also to withdraw the case, police said.
