Bangla Press Desk: Nizam Uddin, Joint Coordinator of the Chattogram City unit of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has been accused of demanding Tk 500,000 to suppress a port-related protest.
A video that went viral on social media allegedly captures him engaged in a conversation about a money transaction. The footage, which spread on Facebook on Sunday evening (August 10), features him asking for money to halt the protest.
Earlier, on July 5, a woman submitted a written complaint to the Police Commissioner, alleging that Nizam Uddin had filed a false case against her husband after failing to extort Tk 2 crore. At that time, Nizam was serving as the member secretary of the Chattogram City unit of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. Following the complaint, his post was suspended but was later reinstated.
In the one-and-a-half-minute video shared on Facebook, a man named Aftab Hossain Rifat is seen speaking to Nizam Uddin via Messenger call, which is being recorded on another phone. At the start, Aftab asks, “If Mir bhai and the others don’t stop the protest, then what will we do?” Nizam responds, “I’ll make sure the protest is stopped. Did they give you money?” Aftab replies, “Yes.”
