A court in Satkhira denied bail to Burigoalini Union Parishad Chairman Haji Md Nazrul Islam and Biswajit Mondal in an extortion case linked to a JICA-funded flood-control embankment construction project in Shyamnagar. The two appeared before the Satkhira court on Monday seeking renewed bail. After a hearing, Chief Judicial Magistrate Md Saidur Rahman rejected their applications and ordered them sent to jail.
According to complainant-side lawyer Pabitra Kumar, prosecutors told the court that the accused faced allegations of extortion involving government project work and that their release could disrupt construction. Nazrul Islam and Mondal had previously received six weeks of bail from the High Court, but sought bail again after that period ended. Lawyers Abu Bakkar and Syed Iftekhar Ali represented the accused.
The case was filed at Shyamnagar police station on May 25 by Md Jalal Uddin, legal officer of project implementer R-Rad Corporation. The complaint alleges extortion, assault and disruption of work. Nazrul Islam, the main accused, has denied the allegations as false and motivated, saying he was attending a Union Parishad budget session at the time of the alleged assault. Project-related officials said delays before the monsoon could put broad coastal areas at risk.
