An expatriate, Shariful Islam, and his co-sharers have formally regained possession of 8.15 acres of ancestral, recorded land in the Dhapaar Gher area of Balitha mouza under Debhata police station in Satkhira. The family said the land had remained under the alleged forcible control of Rowshan Ara Ruby, organisational secretary of the now-banned district women’s Awami League, for 17 years. They expressed gratitude to those who assisted them in recovering the property last Tuesday.
According to Shariful, Ruby, her son Zayed Bin Kader and associates began fish cultivation on the land after allegedly occupying it through political influence in 2018. The family said fear of threats to their lives prevented them from speaking out for a long period. After returning to Bangladesh following the political change on August 5, 2024, Shariful visited the land with relatives on July 3 this year.
The family alleged that an armed group drove them away with death threats during that visit. They submitted a written complaint to the Satkhira superintendent of police and said mediation efforts followed. They also alleged a plan to file a false extortion case against Shariful and sought urgent intervention and security from authorities.
