The family of the late Khondkar Delwar Hossain, former BNP secretary-general, has alleged that four men claiming to be local Jubo Dal leaders forcibly demanded money from them while threatening their safety. The incident occurred on October 3 at Flat 4/B, House No. 653, Greenway, Noyatola, Hatirjheel. Fearing for their lives, the victims withdrew 80,000 taka from a nearby booth and were forced to sign a cheque for an additional 20,000 taka. The assailants reportedly confiscated mobile phones and intimidated children, returning the next day to threaten the family to vacate the flat. Hatirjheel Police have registered a case, are analyzing CCTV footage, and are investigating the suspects’ political affiliations. Khondkar Delwar Hossain was a five-time MP, former BNP chief whip, and recipient of the Ekushey Padak for his contributions to the Language Movement.
