In a written statement at the press conference, she said that her husband Shahid Sarkar died about 26 days ago. After her husband’s death, she had been living in her in-laws’ house with her two minor sons.

At one stage, they forcibly dragged away his three cows and a calf, estimated to be worth around 5 lakh taka.

Victim Rabeya Akhter said that if she stopped him during the incident, the defendants threatened to kill her and her two minor children and hide the bodies. Due to this, she and her children are suffering from extreme insecurity.

Later, helpless, she informed the local dignitaries about the matter and filed a written complaint with the Sreepur Police Station to seek legal assistance. She said that there are multiple eyewitnesses and evidence of the incident.

At the press conference, he strongly demanded that the administration take immediate legal action against the accused, recover the looted cattle, and ensure the safety of his life and property and that of his children.
