A police team from Eidgaon Police Station in Cox’s Bazar has been accused of assaulting the elderly mother and wife of an expatriate and forcing them out of their home. The complaint was filed by Shahena Akhter, wife of Malaysia-based expatriate Shahjahan, who alleged that on the night of June 29, officers led by Officer-in-Charge A.T.M. Shifatul Majdar, along with SI Ashraf and ASI Zohir, entered her house without reason, physically assaulted her and her mother-in-law, and expelled them from the residence. She later lodged a formal complaint with the Superintendent of Police and held a press conference seeking justice.

According to the complaint, the police’s actions allowed Shahjahan’s divorced first wife, Shaheda Sultana Beauty, to re-enter the house, causing social humiliation and distress to the family. In response, OC Shifatul Majdar denied the allegations, stating that police intervened only to rescue a girl allegedly confined by the second wife amid a domestic dispute between the two spouses. He claimed the other accusations were baseless.

The matter remains under review following the complaint submission to the district police authority.
