Couple seeks security of life


A couple at a press conference yesterday urged the police to ensure their security as they claimed a local with his accomplices had been threatening them with death for the last few months over the ownership of a flat.

Farzana Chowdhury Koli, a resident of Pisciculture Housing at Shekhertek in the city, claimed they had paid all the money to buy a flat in Pisciculture Housing. But Jasim Uddin Shikdar and his brother Azim Uddin Shikdar had been plotting to register the house in Jashim's name.

Koli claimed that she had been abducted from her workplace on April 8 when they failed to get the flat registered in Jasim's name.

She filed a case with Mohammadpur Police Station under Women and Children Repression Act after she was left on a road unconscious on the same day, said Koli.

Later, Jasim came out on bail and had been threatening Koli and her husband over cellphone to withdraw the case since then, Koli added.

Koli's husband Siddiqur Rahman Chowdhury and their daughter Sadia Chowdhury Kotha were also present at the press conference.
