Residents of Dhalchar Union in Charfassion upazila of Bhola formed a human chain on March 11 demanding withdrawal of an extortion case filed against them. The case followed a clash between two groups over ownership of a foreign ship that had drifted to Char Nizam in 2022. The ship, named Alkubtan, reportedly arrived from Singapore and has since been claimed by multiple parties. Locals allege that after years of protecting the vessel, they were falsely accused of extortion and assault.
According to the report, Kazi Emdadul Haque from Dhaka claimed to have obtained the ship through a court auction and attempted to refloat it, leading to a confrontation with another group. He later filed a case accusing locals of demanding Tk 5 million in extortion and assaulting his team. Locals say they are being harassed and displaced from their homes. Police confirmed the conflict but said the situation is under control and that they are acting under court orders.
The dispute remains unresolved as both sides maintain their claims of legal ownership and wrongdoing.
