7 BNP men sent to jail for land grabbing
Seven leaders and activists of local BNP and its fronts Sramik Ddal and Chhatra Dal, including former chairman of Shahzadpur municipality, were sent to jail yesterday on charge of land grabbing during the tenure of four-party alliance government.
They were sent to jail when they appeared before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate here.
The accuse are former chairman of Shahzadpur municipality and joint secretary of upazila BNP Nazrul Islam, local Sramik Dal president Yasin Ali, Chhatra Dal president Arifuzzaman and party activists Abdul Malek, Nirmal Shaha, Mohadeb Shaha and Azah Shaha.
They evicted Hazi Md. Abdul Hye and his family members from their house at Ruppur village in the upazila and grabbed 40 decimal land during four-party alliance government.
Abdul Hye lodged a case with a court in Sirajganj in 2005. The court delivered a judgment on behalf of Abdul Hye and ordered the grabbvers to return the land. But they ignored the court order, sources said.
