Chairman of Boro Dargah Union, Mafia Akter, alleged that four union parishad chairmen were falsely implicated, including Bablu Mia of Paingachi Union, who was arrested on the day the case was filed.

She claimed the complainant’s associates demanded money in exchange for dropping names, which she refused. Hafizur, however, denied any involvement in case-trading.

Officer-in-Charge of Pirganj police station, Shafiqul Islam, told Prothom Alo the case cites two separate incidents.

“We are investigating both claims. Once the inquiry is complete, the facts about the accused will be clear,” he said.
