Mirsarai (Chattogram) Correspondent 

An allegation has been made of an attack on a female member of the Union Parishad in Mirsarai, Chattogram. 

As the police did not provide any assistance even after a written complaint was filed at the police station, the victim, female UP member Shamima Akhter Sathi, was compelled to file a case (No - 130/2025) in the Chattogram Chief Judicial Magistrate Court. The accused in the case is Salahuddin Sohel (40), son of the deceased Alauddin from North Talbariya area of Ward No. 6, Mirsarai Sadar Union.

On Saturday  at 11 AM, the victim, former female UP member Shamima Akhter Sathi, and her businessman husband Abu Ahmad held a press conference at Park Inn Restaurant in Mirsarai and presented a written complaint to journalists. Family members were also present.

In her written statement, Shamima Akhter alleged that  she is a former UP member and that through the misuse of political and administrative power, she has been subjected to various forms of oppression and abuse.

 Most recently, on Saturday, April 12, over a trivial matter, Salahuddin Sohel allegedly pulled her hair, threw her to the ground, got on top of her, and tried to suffocate her by pressing her mouth and throat. When her husband, businessman Abu Ahmad, tried to rescue his wife from the attack, Salahuddin Sohel and his mother, Monowara Begum (60), allegedly attacked him with a sharp cleaver and seriously injured him. Following the attack, Shamima Akhter and her husband Abu Ahmad received initial treatment at the local Upazila Health Complex and later underwent advanced treatment at Chattogram Medical College.

Salahuddin Sohel stated that the allegations against him are completely motivated, aimed at defaming him and creating trouble in his job. He claimed that on Saturday, when he protested as they tried to create an obstruction on the pathway to his house with thorns, the husband and wife attacked him.

Mirsarai Police Station OC Atiqur Rahman said, “We are investigating the matter seriously. Legal action will be taken promptly against those found guilty.”
