District Correspondent

Jubo Dal activists robbed Md. Baker, a businessman in Lemuya Bazar of Feni Sadar Upazila, of Tk 350,000, a mobile phone and valuables.

The incident occurred at around 11 pm last night on the way home in the pond area of ​​Dewanji’s house.

Locals rescued him unconscious and admitted him to Feni Sadar Hospital. Police visited the scene at night after receiving the information.

According to family sources, while Baker, a wholesaler in Lemua Bazar in the upazila, was on his way home from his shop, Jubo Dal activists demanded his monthly donation. When he refused, they robbed him of 3.5 lakh taka, his mobile phone and valuables.

Doctors said he had sharp weapon injuries on his face and head. He is currently in the ICU at Parkview Hospital in Chittagong, his family said.

Locals allege that the Dewanji Pond and its surrounding areas have become a haven for drug trafficking, robbery, theft and extortion under the leadership of a few identified youth wing activists in the area. Due to the administration’s lack of action, crime is increasing day by day.

Bogdadia Police Outpost In-charge SI Mizanur Rahman said that police inspected the scene last night. A case has been filed against three unidentified people in the incident.

He said that the police operation to arrest the accused is ongoing.

Admitting the deteriorating law and order situation in the area, Feni Model Police Station OC Shamsuzzaman said, “These criminals get away with it under the political umbrella. That is why the law and order forces are struggling to control crime.”
