A group of transport workers blocked the road of state minister for agriculture Fakhrul Islam Alamgir protesting highhandedness of the OC, compelling him to walk half a kilometer for attending a meeting of party workers. When the OC resorted to lathi charge, the angry workers chased and confined him in a house.

The transport workers told the state minister that OC Akkas Ali seized a truck and demanded Tk 20,000 from the trucker. He was given Tk 6,000 to secure release of the truck with warning of blocking the way of the state minister if the vehicle was not released.

The truck was seized after it killed a housewife at Kadashuka on March 17.

Senior police officers admitted the incident and said Akkas Ali was closed. They said allegations against him are under investigation.
