The plaintiff in a land forgery case has rejected the Criminal Investigation Department's (CID) investigation report and filed a no-confidence petition in court, alleging fabricated witness statements, gross irregularities, and bribery by the investigating officers.

The petition was submitted to the court of the Senior Judicial Magistrate (Cognizance Court) in Dhaka on Monday following the submission of the probe report by the Dhaka District CID.

According to case details, the Senior Judicial Magistrate Court of Dohar had previously directed the Dhaka District CID to investigate CR Case No. 196/2025 concerning a fraudulent deed forgery. On Monday, investigating officers Sub-Inspector Md. Aiyub Ali and Sub-Inspector Diganta Das submitted their inquiry report to the court. Upon reviewing the findings, the complainant immediately filed a no-confidence (naraji) petition, which the court accepted and scheduled for a formal hearing.

Complainant Mahbubur Rahman Tipu stated that the dispute centers on a property in Durgapur mouza under Churain union in Dohar upazila. He alleged that close relatives conspired to fabricate signatures and create a fraudulent registered sale deed (Deed No. 4538, dated August 23, 1982) at the Dohar Sub-Registry Office.

The accused individuals named in the case include Sheikh Md. Rashedul Islam (49), Md. Mizanur Rahman Sohel (43), Pushpa Akter (51), Afroz Akter Eti (48), Rokeya Islam Smriti (44), Rabeya Sultana (40), and Sufia Islam (75)—all children and the wife of the late Rafiq Uddin of Durgapur—along with Nazrul Islam (76), son of the late Mobarak Ali from Kamarkhola village.

The complainant alleged that the investigating officers fabricated 161 witness statements for six individuals without ever communicating with five of them. Upon obtaining copies of the recorded statements, the complainant contacted the witnesses, who expressed shock and confirmed they had never met the investigators or given any statements.

Furthermore, the complainant alleged that the investigating officers developed an unethical nexus with the accused in exchange for financial benefits and demanded a luxury vehicle as a bribe for a favorable report. The complainant claimed to have already paid Tk 60,000 toward investigation expenses, but due to dissatisfaction with the payoff, the officers submitted a fabricated report to the court.

When contacted via phone, investigating officer SI Md. Aiyub Ali declined to comment, stating he had been transferred. Co-investigating officer SI Diganta Das also declined to speak on the matter when reached at his phone.
