Two Jamaat-affiliated leaders in Pirojpur’s Nesarabad have reportedly received threatening letters sent by post, demanding they quit politics and pay extortion money. Both victims have lodged separate written complaints with the local police station.
On Saturday, Jamaat labor leader Md. Abdur Rahman received a registered letter warning him to withdraw from Jamaat politics and demanding Tk 50,000 as extortion. The envelope listed the sender as “Md. Kabir Mia” of Kamarakathi village in Nesarabad.
Earlier, Jamaat’s religious leader Shariful Islam also received a similar threat letter, allegedly sent by “Md. Zahid Sikder,” a resident of Swarupkathi municipality.
Police said the mobile numbers mentioned in the letters were tracked and found to be registered in Chattogram. “We are actively investigating the matter,” a police official confirmed.
