Serious allegations of extortion and brokering against Teknaf Upazila Volunteer League Vice President Aziz Ullah
In the Shilkhali area of Teknaf Upazila Baharchhara Union, there has been an intense concern among the locals about an influential circle formed under the guise of political identity. It has been alleged that Bangladesh Awami League Teknaf Upazila is the vice-president of Swachhasebok League. Sometimes he pretends to be a journalist, sometimes a political leader and sometimes a leader of Jamaat Shibir and spreads illegal influence in various government offices and continues extortion and brokering. Azid was former MP Badi's right hand.
Locals claim that the person regularly travels to various important offices including police station, land office, registry office and upazila election office and collects money by intimidating the common people. If someone has a case or land related problem, a huge sum of money is demanded to solve it.
According to the victims, many do not dare to protest because of his strong words and political identity. There are allegations of harassment, threats or threats of prosecution if anyone speaks up.
Residents alleged that this person was associated with different political ideologies in the past and over time increased his influence by associating himself with the ruling politics. Currently, he also introduces himself as a journalist, using which he tries to gain access to government offices and the trust of the common people.
Local conscious circles say that this kind of fake identity and brokering circles operating under political umbrellas are not only harming the common people, but also severely damaging the image of real journalism and politics.
The local people are saying that the administration's intervention and impartial investigation in this matter.Rule of law in Teknaf will be questionable if necessary measures are not taken by verifying these complaints immediately.
