RezauL Hasan Koyes Lodi, chairman of the Sylhet Development Authority and acting president of Sylhet Metropolitan BNP, has reported receiving death threats from unidentified individuals or groups through social media. He confirmed the matter on Tuesday evening, June 23, stating that several Facebook accounts had issued threats against him. Lodi said he verbally informed the Sylhet Metropolitan Police Commissioner and submitted the relevant links, while also filing a report with the Airport Police Station seeking legal action.

Lodi described the threats as alarming, particularly given his role as a political figure engaged in public service. He demanded a proper investigation and swift legal action against those responsible. The threats reportedly came amid recent Facebook criticism of him related to issues surrounding the Hazrat Shahjalal shrine donation box and the transfer of Deputy Commissioner Sarwar Alam.

The incident has sparked significant discussion in both political and administrative circles in Sylhet, highlighting concerns over online intimidation of public officials.
