Prof. Dr. Sarker Sujit Kumar, chairman of Rajshahi University Bangla department, has alleged that he has been threatened by supporters of Shafiqul Islam Shimul, an Awami League MP from Natore-2 constituency.
Prof. Sujit Kumar on July 29 filed a general diary in Boalia police station of Rajshahi city against Shafiqul, also AL general secretary of Natore district, demanding his and his family’s safety.
According to the general diary, the professor in 2009 wrote a book on history, heritage and the liberation war of Natore district. He made a list of the war criminals of the district by collecting information from the local people. Shafiqul’s father was listed as a war criminal in that book and that’s why the lawmaker is threatening the professor.
Prof, Sujit Kumar said MP Shafiqul’s men on July 26 threatened him using rough language at a press conference and that was published in a section of the media. He filed a GD for his and his family’s safety.
GD investigation officer SI Nadim Uddin said, they will investigate and verify the allegation and take action accordingly.
