2005-05-28 | ||
According to police, Mostafa Molla of Jaigirmahal village under Koira upazila of the district were asleep with his wife Rexona, son Badsha and daughter Mukta when some unidentified miscreants threw acid on them at around 11:30pm. Mostafa escaped unhurt from the acid attack. According to Mostafa, the attack was launched taking advantage of loadshedding. Police said the acid attack might have been made following a previous dispute between Mostafa Molla and Ebadat Hossain, chairman of Jaigirmahal Union Parishad (UP) under Koira upazila over possession of a shrimp enclosure. The attack was aimed to kill all members of the family at a time, police said. They said Mostafa Molla is a shrimp trader by profession. UP Chairman Ebadat Hossain threatened Mostafa Molla to quit the shrimp enclosure voluntarily or to pay toll of Tk 2 lakh per month. Mostafa did not agree to either. On May 23, UP Chairman Ebadat Hossain threatened Mostafa Molla to liquidate his entire family, said officer-in-charge of Koira Police Station. Police could not nab the UP chairman as of 6:00pm yesterday. A case was recorded with Koira Police Station at 4:30pm, two hours after the death of Mukta.

#1 "I won't mind a bit, I swear I won't, if the RAB takes care of this one." I second that sentiment Dr Steve. Of course I must readily admit that I favor RAB actions in almost all cases. They fill the obvious vacuum and seem to be the medicine needed. We know this type of thuggery, and we know what it takes to control it. |
