Quota reform leader Rashed gets death threat

Quota reform leader Rashed Khan has claimed that unidentified criminals threatened him to gun down if he leads any other movements.

However, Mizanur Rahman, officer-in-charge (OC) of Jhenidah Sadar Police Station, said that he knew nothing about the incident.

The family of Rashed did not inform law enforcers about it, the Jhenidah correspondent reports quoting the OC.

Rashed's mother fainted as two persons went to her house at Charmuraridaha village in Sadar upazila in Jhenidah yesterday afternoon and threatened that they would kill her son, the quota reformist told our local correspondent over phone today.

She regained her senses after over two and a half hours and undergoing treatment at Jhenidah Islami Bank Hospital, the correspondent reports quoting Rashed.

The issuers of the death threat did not reveal their identities, he said.

Rashed, a joint convener of Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Adhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad, told the correspondent that he received similar threats in the past.
