Mohabbat Ali, the brother-in-law of former LGED Minister Tajul Islam, was once an unemployed youth. However, since Tajul became a minister in 2018, Mohabbat—now known as ‘Kasai Mohabbat’ (Butcher Mohabbat)—has amassed a fortune of $30 million through extortion, tender manipulation, and influence peddling. He currently serves as the general secretary of Laksam Upazila Awami League and a former Upazila vice-chairman. Locals allege that he runs a torture cell to suppress dissent. A former BNP leader has accused Mohabbat of electrocuting him while tied to a chair. He now owns vast lands, luxury apartments, and multiple businesses.
