Hostel owner remanded for stealing tenants’ certificates, others
DHAKA, July 3, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today put the owner of a
student hostel in city’s East Rajabazar on one day remand for stealing
his 50 tenants’ certificates and other goods for failing to pay rent.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masudur Rahman passed the order as
police produced Alif Chatrabash owner Khorshed Alam before the court
and pleaded to place him on three-day remand in the theft case.
Police arrested Khorshed on early Thursday.
According to the case documents fifty students of private Sonargaon
University in city’s Green Road area used to live in the hostel as
tenants. As the government declared holiday amid coronavirus crises in
March, the students went to their homes locking their rooms.
Recently they have learnt that their landlord threw away their
certificates and other goods from their rooms as they failed to pay
the three-month room rent.
Later, a tenant named Md Sohan filed the case with Kalabagan Police
Station in this regard.
