DHAKA: The businessman husband of a member of the interim cabinet in
Bangladesh and eight others were yesterday sued in a criminal case in
Dhaka for harassing a woman physically.
Farhana Islam, wife of Dr Mahbubul Islam, filed a criminal case with
the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, against businessman Nazim
Kamran Chowdhury, husband of Industry Adviser Geeteara Safiya
Choudhury and eight others accusing them of land grab and physical
harassment.
Farhana also attached a medical certificate as a "proof of physical harassment".
Farhana alleges that, Nazim Kamran illegally stayed in Farhana's
building in Gulshan in Dhaka, which houses his businesses, even after
the rental agreement expired.
Farhana also alleged that Kamran and his men beat her with iron rods
and tugged at her saree in a bid to "usurp the property".
Earlier, Dr Mahbub Islam and his wife, the landlords, held a press
conference in Dhaka on October 25, 2007 complaining about physical
assault by Nazim Kamran. Their tenants were three companies - Adcom,
Signage and Magnavision. Adcom is owned by Geeteara Safiya Choudhury,
an adviser to the caretaker government of Bangladesh.
The other two companies are owned by her husband, Nazim Kamran
Choudhury, a former member of the Bangladeshi parliament.
Dr Islam and his wife alleged that Nazim Kamran Choudhury and others
assaulted them on October 22, 2007 at their own building, 22 days
after the lease expired and after the three companies failed to vacate
the premises.
