The dreadful chapter of Sheikh Shahjahan of Sandeshkhali had not yet faded from the minds of the people that another dark letter of ‘Shahjahan’ has come out from Deganga of North 24 Parganas.
According to information published in media reports, influential Trinamool Congress leader Rabiul Islam is accused of inviting women to his luxurious garden house in the name of frying fish and then making them victims of his lust. The whole of Bengal is shocked to hear the story of the atrocities of this leader who turned from poor to millionaire.
era made for women
This leader of Deganga Panchayat Samiti, Rabiul Islam, was no less than a terror in the area. According to local residents, Rabiul has a huge garden house of his own, which is spread over about 100 bighas of land. It is alleged that he used to call women there in the dark of night on the pretext of frying fish or cooking food. This was not a feast, but a disgusting trap. After reaching there, the women were taken hostage and subjected to inhuman torture. People of the area say that there was so much fear of Rabiul that no woman or her family could muster the courage to speak out.
Rs 10 crore journey from wages
The story of Rabiul Islam’s rise is as shocking as his crimes. Before 2011, Rabiul was an ordinary daily wage laborer who struggled to earn two meals a day. But after gaining access to the corridors of power, his fortunes began to shine rapidly. Within no time, he became the powerful Superintendent of Forest and Land Department in Deganga Panchayat Samiti. It is alleged that he spent the money and trees received in the name of government projects to decorate his private garden house. Today the value of this property has been estimated at Rs 10 crore.
He was caught while fleeing to Bangladesh
For a long time, Rabiul flouted every law with the help of his influence. Many complaints of extortion and harassment of women reached Deganga police station, but every time its impact was heavy. However, as the circumstances changed after recent political developments, Rabiul’s security cover broke. As police activity increased, he went underground and was planning to escape across the border to Bangladesh to save his life to avoid arrest. But his trick did not work. A ready police team caught him at Basirhat border. Now he is behind the bars and the investigating agencies are busy uncovering the layers of his illegal wealth.
