A group identifying itself as the 'ABCD Group' has issued death threats to officials involved in toll collection at Eidgaon Market in Cox’s Bazar. On April 12, leaflets appeared across the market, the Upazila and Union land offices, and nearby areas, warning that anyone collecting tolls would face fatal consequences. The leaflets specifically named several local officials and claimed that only the group would control toll collection at the market.
Following the circulation of the leaflets, local residents and traders expressed concern over the threats and speculated about the identity of those responsible. Attempts to reach the acting Upazila Nirbahi Officer, Md. Fazle Rabbani Chowdhury, for comment were unsuccessful. However, his assistant Rubel confirmed that the threats began before the Bengali New Year and that the matter had been reported to the administration. He added that tolls were being collected under official supervision as per regulations.
Eidgaon Market, a major commercial hub in southern Chattogram, usually generates significant government revenue through lease auctions. This year, no bids were submitted, forcing the market into direct government collection, which coincided with the emergence of the threats.
