Habiganj SP directed to settle issue
The High Court has directed the superintendent of police (SP) of Habiganj to dispose of an application submitted for providing security to the Hindu people of Sunaru village in Baniachang upazila of Habiganj.
The SP has been asked to comply with the order within one month on receipt of the order.
The bench of Justice Md Ashfaqul Islam and Justice KM Kamrul Kader passed the order on May 14 following a writ petition filed by Sushanta Das Gupta, a resident of Sunaru village, seeking its direction on the SP to dispose of his application.
Sushanta Das Gupta submitted the application to the office of the SP on April 19.
He said in the application that a vested quarter, particularly local Jubo League leader Ataur Rahman Selim, is torturing the Hindu people of Sunaru village in different manners in order to occupy their properties.
Sushanta also said the vested quarter has threatened him and his family members over cellphone, saying that they will kill them if they do not convert to Islam.
