Chattogram district police have found major discrepancies between land purchase claims and deed records in Jongol Salimpur, describing allegations of threats against the superintendent of police as false, misleading, and motive-driven.
The district police revealed these findings in a media release issued on Saturday 14 November.
Recently, at a press conference, Mir Md Hasan alleged that he purchased 21 decimals of land in Jongol Salimpur, Chattogram, in 2018, but a Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) camp was subsequently established on that property. He further alleged that the superintendent of police threatened him after he organised a human chain demanding the relocation of the camp.
According to the district police, Mir Md Hasan and Asiful Islam visited the office of the superintendent of police to inquire about the BGB camp on their land.
During the meeting, officials examined their land deeds and relevant land documents, discovering multiple discrepancies among the claimed land quantity, plot (dag) numbers, and actual physical possession.
Police informed that although Hasan claimed to have bought 21 decimals of land in 2018, his deed was executed on 17 September 2026. Under BS plot No 201, that deed specifies only 1 decimal of land.
Similarly, Asiful Islam claimed to have bought nearly 24 decimals of land in 2017–18, but his deed, executed on the exact same date for the same plot, mentions only 4 decimals of land. Police added that there are additional discrepancies regarding land mutation (namjari) and actual possession.
Data provided by the district police indicates that privately-owned land exists in plot Nos. 201, 233, and 241 under BS khatian No 19 in Jongol Salimpur mouza. Records from the office of the assistant commissioner (land) show that Md Yasin purchased portions of land in these plots between 2018 and 2022, leading to the creation of various mutation khatians based on those purchases.
Police records show that a total of 74 deeds were executed on 17 September and 1 October 2026. Among these, 66 deeds in plot No 201 cover 246.75 decimals, seven deeds in plot No 233 cover 27 decimals, and one deed in plot No 241 covers 1 decimal, amounting to a total of 274.75 decimals of land across these deeds.
The district police claimed that approximately 90 percent of the total land in Jongol Salimpur is government khas land. They noted that criminal syndicates have long faced allegations of illegally occupying government land, cutting hills, and committing fraud under the guise of land transactions, causing severe financial and social damage to ordinary citizens.
In the past, law enforcement personnel encountered violent resistance while operating in the area, leading to an incident where a member of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) was beaten to death.
At present, infrastructure development and government land management projects are underway in Jongol Salimpur, including the simultaneous construction of six roads by the Bangladesh Army. The district police claimed that these initiatives do not aim to evict legitimate landowners or seize valid private property, but rather to free government land from illegal occupation, protect genuine ownership rights, and suppress criminal activities.
Police further accused Yasin,who is facing allegations of land grabbing and criminal conduct and an associated interest group of disseminating misleading information on social media to disrupt official operations.
The district police also accused them of paying several women to present deceptive claims and alleged fake documents to journalists. Describing the threat allegations against the superintendent of police as purpose-driven, police informed that legal proceedings are underway to identify and take strict action against those involved.
