Brothers of Mizan taking away all donation
Alleges wife of slain teacher of Natore
Razia Sultana, wife of slain Natore college teacher Mizanur Rashid, yesterday alleged that her brothers-in-law took away the money given as donation by different organisations after his death.
They also withdrew Tk 56,000 from Mizan's DPS (Deposit Pension Scheme) account with a bank and grabbed his landed property, alleged Razia, also a teacher of Baneswar Degree College in Putia upazila of Rajshahi.
She made the allegations at a press conference held at a restaurant in the city.
Razia's five-year-old daughter Nusaiba Rashid Momo, father-in-law Shawkat Alam, Jatiya Mohila Sangstha Chairman Morjina Parveen and Bangladesh National Woman Lawyers' Association Coordinator Dil Sitara Begum were present at the conference.
Mizan, a chemistry teacher of Lokmanpur College in Bagatipara upazila of Natore, was critically injured as two stalkers ran a motorcycle into him and hit with an iron rod at Lokmanpur Bazar on October 12 in 2010 as he protested stalking of his college girls.
He succumbed to his injuries at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in the capital on October 24.
The stalkers--Abdul Awal Rajon and Mamunur Rashid Asif--were given life imprisonment by a Rajshahi court on February 7 last year.
Razia told the conference that different organisations, including Dutch- Bangla Bank, Janata Bank and Rajshahi district and police administration, gave Tk 15.45 lakh after the death of her husband. Of the amount, Mamunur Rashid and Harunur Rashid took away Tk 7.50 lakh, she alleged.
She further alleged that Mamun and Zaman captured all her household belongings and eight tolas of gold ornaments from her Rajpara residence in Rajshahi city.
“Recently, I filed a GD with Rajpara Police Station as my brother-in-law Zaman gave me a death threat,” she told the conference.
Razia consulted with Jatiya Mohila Sangstha and Bangladesh National Woman Lawyers Association. Both organisations have sent legal notices to her brothers-in-law.
Contacted, one of Razia's brothers-in-law Mamunur Rashid refuted all allegations brought against him and his brothers. He said Razia herself withdrew the money from banks.
Razia said she is taking preparations to file a case against her brothers-in-law.
