A criminal case has been filed against five individuals, including a former Additional Superintendent of Police and a former Public Prosecutor, in Satkhira, Bangladesh. The case, lodged by former Debhata Upazila Chairman Md. Al Ferdous Alfa, accuses the defendants of demanding extortion money, abduction, and physical assault related to a 2019 incident involving the seizure of seafood worth approximately 15 million taka.

According to the complaint, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized the fish shipment, after which police officials allegedly demanded 10 million taka from the plaintiff. When he refused, he and his brother were reportedly abducted and tortured. The plaintiff further claims that the confiscated fish were later sold at a fraction of their value and that additional bribes were taken under the pretext of securing bail.

The Satkhira Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate accepted the case and ordered the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to investigate. The next hearing is set for April 20, 2026, with the case highlighting ongoing concerns about police corruption and abuse of power in regional law enforcement.
