In a shocking case of fraud, a man in Fatikchhari, Chattogram, has been accused of altering his father’s identity to siphon off his uncle’s freedom fighter pension. The accused, Abdus Shukkur (46), admitted to forging an NID to withdraw the pension and bribing the UP secretary and the union freedom fighter commander to facilitate the scam. However, the secretary has denied any involvement. The deceased freedom fighter, Bosu Mia, had no children, while Shukkur’s actual father, Abdur Razzak, was also a freedom fighter. Reports indicate that Shukkur has been committing this fraud since 2015.
