A writ petition has been filed with the High Court (HC) on Sunday seeking judicial probe against the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) and AC land of Raiganj upazila over allegations regarding misuse of power.
Supreme Court Lawyer Md Shishir Monir filed the writ petition on behalf of Sherpur resident Towhidul Islam in Bagura.
The writ petition said AC Land Subir Kumar had an dispute with Towhidul Islam over trivial matter on December 2, last year which was settled with the help of Towhidul’s elder brother.
But an hour later police went to Towhidul’s house and asked Towhidul to offer apology to the AC land and held Towhidul’s younger brother.
After that a mobile court also went to Towhidul’s house and sentenced him to two months in jail.
On the same day, directed by the AC land, Towhidul’s brother was severely beaten.
Raiganj UNO using his administrative power sent a letter to top officials in this regard seeking action against Towhidul’s brother.
Since then Towhidul and his family were being threatened by the administration, the writ said.
Earlier, legal notice was sent to the authorities but no measures were taken in this regard, said advocate Md Shishir.
