ATM Zahed Chowdhury, former joint convener of Lohagara upazila BNP, threatened to lock up the upazila land office in Chattogram, alleging corruption and harassment. The incident took place on Tuesday morning when he went to the land office regarding a land-related matter.
He claimed that upazila assistant commissioner (land) Mong Ethen canceled a long-standing khatian in exchange for money through a miss case without any hearing. Following this, a video of his altercation with Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Bayazid Bin Akhond went viral on Facebook.
Upon receiving the news, UNO Bayazid Bin Akhond rushed to the spot and stated that if there is corruption in the land office, complaints can be made to the concerned authorities, but locking a government office is no solution. At one point in the altercation, the UNO left the scene along with the upazila land officer.
