In Jessore’s Sharsha upazila, road construction work in Jirengacha village was allegedly halted and bricks removed after a contractor refused to pay extortion money. The incident occurred on Friday night in Ulashi Union. Contractor Nasir Uddin of Sarun & Safa Traders said work on a 73-meter road, costing about 350,000 taka, began on January 15. Local resident Arman Hossain, known as Dablue, allegedly demanded money and stopped the work when refused. The contractor reported that workers were forced to leave, and the next morning he found part of the road’s bricks removed. He is preparing a written complaint to the upazila administration.
Local residents claimed a group led by Dablue has long intimidated villagers in Jirengacha, Kashiadanga, and Matipukuria, controlling local activities through threats and extortion. Residents also alleged that the group interferes in social and religious events. Dablue denied all allegations, saying he was being targeted over a local dispute. Police confirmed multiple cases against him under various laws but said no written complaint had yet been filed regarding this incident.
Authorities stated that an investigation and legal action will follow once a formal complaint is received.
