Nahid questions who dared to demand extortion at 'prime minister’s seat'

His remarks came shortly after the reported vandalism of content creator Salman Muqtadir’s studio in the capital, over which allegations of extortion and an attempt to occupy disputed property have surfaced.

In a social media post on Sunday (September 27), Nahid said Salman’s studio, which he described as belonging to a popular content creator who was also a fellow participant in the July uprising, was vandalised and looted at night.

“There are two allegations behind the vandalism and looting: refusing to pay extortion or an attempt to seize property. And this time, the incident has taken place at the prime minister’s seat itself. Who could have the audacity to demand extortion or seize property at the prime minister’s seat?” 

Nahid said that if a structure is illegal or someone has occupied property unlawfully, there are legal and judicial avenues available to recover it.

''What does the reckless behaviour of those in power across the country, bypassing legal procedures, indicate?''

The NCP convener also accused the BNP of being involved in extortion and land grabbing since August 5, saying its alleged activities began immediately after the fall of the previous government.
