In Fatikchhari, Chattogram, extortionists led by one Belal Driver assaulted and broke the leg of a Jamaat-e-Islami leader, Yunus Mia Suman (48), allegedly for testifying in a case filed by the administration. Locals rescued Yunus and admitted him to a private hospital before transferring him to Chittagong Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment. Belal Driver (54) had previously served a one-month jail sentence handed down by a mobile court under the supervision of the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) on January 16, following extortion charges. Reports indicate that Yunus was a witness in that case, which led to the attack by Belal, who is known for his political ties with BNP.
