On the day of the parliamentary election in Feni’s Sonagazi upazila, former assistant coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, Shahadat Hasan, alleged that he was abducted and tortured by masked armed men from the Bagishpur Government Primary School polling center. The incident reportedly occurred around noon, when he was taken to an isolated area, beaten with rods, and threatened at gunpoint. He claimed the attackers demanded 500,000 taka in extortion and took 30,000 taka in cash, a mobile phone, and a wristwatch.
Shahadat, a fourth-semester BBA student at Feni University, said the assailants accused him of supporting Jamaat and aiding fake voting, which he denied, stating his family’s allegiance to BNP and the ideals of Ziaur Rahman. He alleged that he was forced to record videos portraying him as a criminal and to give false testimony against others. He also claimed he was threatened with harm if he approached authorities.
Former district coordinator Omar Faruk demanded a proper investigation, while Sonagazi Model Police Station’s officer-in-charge said no formal complaint had been received.
