Bhabani's another land grabbed

Over a month into the incident, about 22 decimals of land of a Hindu family at Rasulpur village in Patgram upazila grabbed allegedly by a local influential is yet to be recovered.

After getting nod from the officer-in-charge (OC) of Patgram Police Station, the alleged grabber ploughed the land and cultivated maize recently.

Victim Bhabanikanta Sen, 46, son of late Madanmohan Sen of the village, submitted a written complaint to Lalmonirhat Deputy Commissioner (DC) on December 14.

DC AFM Alauddin Khan said he had already informed Patgram Upazila Nirbahi officer to investigate the matter.

Bhabani said the OC of Patgram police station called him and Nazrul Islam, the alleged grabber, to his officer on November 24 and surprisingly he told Nazrul to plough the land without verifying his documents.

Local UP member Sunil Chandra Sen said he tried to resolve the issue in local arbitration but Nazrul did not accept the process showing his muscle power.

OC Aboni Shankar Kar said he told Nazrul to plough the land as he had been enjoying the land for the last 30 years and told Bhabani to go to the court.
