Bagerhat representative: document writer working in Morelganj of Bagerhat. Priest Ujjal Kumar Majumdar, son of deceased Rabindranath Majumdar, of Kismat Baulpur village of the upazila, held a press conference against Sumon Hossain and Morelganj Sub-Registrar Tanmoy Kumar Mandal.
The press conference was held at the office of the Upazila Press Club on Tuesday (May 2) at 8:30 p.m.
Purohit Ujjal Kumar said in a written statement that he went to the sub-registrar’s office with Suman, the document writer, to register a 25 percent land acquisition on December 22 last year. After a few days, Suman said that if he spends 1 lakh rupees through his mobile phone, he can be registered. Later on Tuesday (May 2), Suman appeared in front of donors and acquaintances and paid Tk 80,000 in cash. 25 percent of the land was registered to Kamlesh Chakraborty and Maya Chakraborty at the price of Tk 4 lakh without any amendment, whose document is No. For the remaining 20 thousand rupees, the writer of the document, Suman, withheld the ticket.
After informing a local UP member known to Ujjal Kumar, Suman returned the ticket after his intervention. Later, when Ujjal came to Milan’s hotel to have lunch with the people he was with, Suman knew their location on the mobile phone and immediately came there and demanded the remaining 20,000 taka. When Ujjwal Kumar refused to pay, Suman, the deed writer, publicly beat Ujjwal Kumar. Previously, Sumon received another 18,000 taka for the land registry, totaling 98,000 taka.
When asked about this by the deed writer, Suman, he admitted to receiving 40 thousand taka. But he denied the beating.
In this regard, Sub-Registrar Tanmoy Kumar Mandal said that he did not know about receiving money.
He failed to give any answer to the question of how the document returned earlier was registered today without any correction, but he said that appropriate action will be taken if a written complaint is received.
In this regard, Upazila Nirbahi Officer SM Tarek Sultan said that the matter is sad. However, if a complaint is received, legal action will be taken.
It is to be noted that earlier on December 5, the victims held a press conference against the Morelganj Sub-Registrar, alleging widespread corruption.
