A case was filed on Wednesday against six people, including four policemen, for allegedly harassing and threatening to kill a man in crossfire when he tried to recover his money saved with an NGO in Chattogram.

Kamrul Islam, assistant ward master of Agrabad Ma-O-Shishu Hospital, filed the case with the court of Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Kazi Shariful Islam, accusing them of threatening to kill him in crossfire.

Kamrul’s lawyer Jewel Das said his client filed the case with the magistrate court after getting no remedy from the higher police authorities as he sent his complaints in writing to the Chattogram Metropolitan Police Commissioner and the Inspector General of Police in 2019.

Kamrul said that Chattogram Bandar police station’s former OC Mohiuddin Mahmud, former sub-inspectors Rabiul Islam and KM Jannat Sajal, city DB’s former sub-inspector Mangal Bikash Chakma and Bandar area’s residents Jamal Farazi and Milon Farazi had threatened him to kill in crossfire on false charges of extortion.

Magistrate Kazi Shariful Islam accepted the case and asked the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate it.

According to the case statement, Kamrul and some 35 others opened account with NGO ‘Disha Foundation’ to save money on monthly basis in the Bandar area in 2011.

Later, the NGO authorities closed its office without paying the money in 2016. Kamrul said all the accused had harassed him when he attempted to get his money back.

Kamrul said the accused implicated him in a false case after he filed a case against them for harassment. He was subsequently freed on bail after passing four days in prison involving the case.
