A local BNP leader named Israfil Sheikh has been accused of occupying disputed land in Rampal upazila of Bagerhat and continuing construction work despite a temporary injunction issued by the Senior Civil Judge Court. The land in question, located in Gilatala mouza and measuring 0.0190 acres, is under a pending case where the court ordered that no construction, eviction, or obstruction of possession should occur until the case is resolved. The complainant family alleged that the accused ignored the court order and continued building with the influence of retired Additional DIG Omar Faruk.

The affected family held a press conference at the Bagerhat Press Club, claiming that even after informing local administration and police, no effective action was taken. Locals reported that construction materials were being transported regularly and workers were seen on site, raising concerns about administrative inaction. Attempts to contact Israfil Sheikh and Omar Faruk for comments were unsuccessful, though a close source of the accused claimed the land was legally purchased.

Local observers warned that continuing construction in defiance of a court order could pose a serious challenge to the rule of law. Police officials said the matter was under observation and would be handled seriously if violations were confirmed.
