Land grabbers threaten Hindu family in Satkhira
Influential land grabbers are allegedly trying to grab land of a poor speech impaired man belonging to Hindu community at Tentultala village in Shibpur union under Sadar upazila.
Speech impaired Dukhi Ram Mondal and his wife Shfali Rani Mondal came to Satkhira Press Club to narrate their woes yesterday.
They said the culprits are now threatening them to vacate their ancestral land or face 'the dire consequences.'
Shefali Rani said they wanted to sell 10 decimals of their ancestral land as they badly needed money last year. Ibrahim Hossain, son of Khalilur Rahman of the same village expressed his eagerness to purchase the land.
Taking advantage of their illiteracy and physical debility, Ibrahim made a registered deed of 15 decimals of land instead of 10 decimals, they alleged. They also alleged the deed was done changing the actual plot of the land.
Even, Ibrahim did not pay price of the land in last one year, they lamented. So, they said they demanded return of their land and punishment to the culprit.
Earlier they complained to local Union Parishad (UP) chairman against the cheat, they said.
They blamed a local Awami League (AL) leader Rajab Ali, also former Shibpur UP chairman and his sons for hatching a conspiracy to evict them from their land.
While contacted, Shibpur UP chairman Abdul Majid confirmed the report.
On contact over cell phone both Rajab Ali and Ibrahim refuted the allegation of fraudulence.
