Barkat Ullah Bulu, family sued for land grab

A case was filed against former commerce adviser Barkat Ullah Bulu, his wife Shameema Barkat and son Omar Sharif for allegedly cultivating fish by grabbing 24 acres of khas land in the district.
Assistant land officer at Char Clarke union land office Shaheed Ullah filed the case on Tuesday night, accusing the Bulu family of digging up ponds and constructing embankment on the grabbed government land for fish cultivation.
The case followed an investigation by the anti-crime taskforce which got proof of financial losses the government incurred by the action of the former adviser to the BNP government and his family.
Locals said Bulu occupied the land by using his clout during the BNP-Jamaat alliance government.
