A miscreant, identifying himself as a top-listed criminal, yesterday threatened to kill General Secretary of Dhaka University Teachers Association (Duta) Prof Dr MM Anwar Hossain if he fails to pay him Tk eight lakh before the day ends.The threat was issued to Anwar Hossain, dean, faculty of biological science, by one Jisan over cell-phone at 8:45am. "I am on the top of the criminals list prepared by the caretaker government. I have returned from India recently and my accomplices are also released. Give me Tk eight lakh by today (Monday), otherwise, you will be killed," Anwar Hossain quoted the caller as saying. The miscreant also threatened to kill his son as the latter received another call after a few minutes at the cellphone of Prof Anwar. "One of my articles on militancy was published in Prothom Alo on May 15. The article dealt with the recent incident at Jahurul Huq Hall of Dhaka University concerning militant activities. It might have a connection with the threat," said Prof Anwar. DU authorities filed a general diary with Shahbagh Police Station in this connection.
