In Chattogram’s Bakalia area, Farida Begum, mother of murder victim Sajjad, filed a case against 13 individuals, including expelled Jubo Dal leader Emdadul Haque Badsha, accusing them of orchestrating her son’s killing. The case, accepted by the Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Court, was set for an order on Sunday. However, Farida Begum unexpectedly applied to withdraw the case, reportedly under pressure from influential quarters. She declined to explain her decision, saying only that she could not disclose the reason. The complaint had alleged that Badsha, a known extortionist and gang leader, had his men lure Sajjad from his home before he was shot dead. Despite repeated appeals, police allegedly ignored Farida’s requests to question key suspects. The court has now scheduled Thursday for an order regarding the withdrawal. The incident has raised concerns about intimidation and the influence of powerful figures in local justice processes.
