Zafrullah sued for stealing fish, now!

Dhaka, Oct 25 (Just News): Yet another case has been filed against Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury on charges of attempted land grabbing and stealing fish.

Md Muhibur Rab, owner of a 19.6 acre-land beside Gonoshasthaya Kendra in Savar, filed the lawsuit with Ashulia Police Station last night accusing Dr Zafrullah of attempted land grabbing, unauthorised entry and stealing fish from his pond.

Two other identified and some unidentified people were also accused in the case, Javed Masud, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Ashulia Police Station.

With this, a total of five cases, filed on charges of either land grabbing or attempted land grabbing and extortion, have been filed against him in Ashulia since October 15.

The cases come around two weeks after a diary was filed against him with Cantonment Police Station in Dhaka, over recent remarks on the army chief at a TV programme, that were termed “motivated, malicious and conspiratorial” and the act as tantamount to sedition.

On Tuesday night, Nasir Uddin, a resident of Ashulia's Nolam area, filed a case against Dr Zafrullah and three named and 40 to 50 unnamed persons.

The three other cases were filed on October 15, 19 and 21.

When asked, Dr Zafrullah said, “All the lands are owned by Gonoshasthaya Kendra. The complainants' claims are false.”
