The Bangladesh Passenger Welfare Association has alleged that its secretary general, Md. Mozammel Haque Chowdhury, has been receiving continuous threats from various transport owners, workers, and organizations. The threats reportedly began after the association published reports on excessive fares during Eid travel and subsequent road accidents. In response, an online general diary (GD) was filed on Tuesday at the Demra Police Station in Dhaka.

According to the GD, Chowdhury has been advocating for passenger rights and safety for two decades. The association claimed that during the previous Awami League government, he faced multiple legal cases and imprisonment under pressure from transport groups. Following the latest reports, unidentified individuals were seen monitoring his movements and inquiring about his and his family’s whereabouts.

Chowdhury has also released an online video message seeking the prime minister’s intervention to ensure his personal safety amid the ongoing threats.
