Swechchhasebak Dal leader Shahin Mia (27) was allegedly abducted and beaten by a group led by Swechchhasebak League leader Sarol in Siddhirganj. Shahin said he was setting up a tea stall when Sarol’s group demanded Tk 50,000 in extortion. Upon refusal, he was forcibly dragged into a private car by Sarol, his brother Nishad, and others. He was released only after promising to pay the amount. A case has been filed, and Shahin claimed he was also threatened with being blackmailed via a video involving local weapons.
