A case was filed against an executive magistrate of the district administration for reportedly demanding dowry from his newlywed wife.
Farzana Khanam, wife of assistant commissioner Md Masudur Rahman, filed the case with Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
The court summoned Masudur to appear before it on January 29.
According to the case statement, following love affairs, Masudur married Farzana three months back and kept it secret to others, including their relatives.
Two months after their marriage, Masudur demanded Tk 50 lakh from his wife on November 29 and threatened to discard her if she fails to pay the money.
Meanwhile, Masudur said he divorced Farzana on November 17 and she filed the case out of vengeance.
