A very heartbreaking incident took place in Chitla village of Damurhuda upazila. Interest money was collected by keeping the body. The matter has shocked not only the locals but also countless people on social media. There has been a storm of condemnation all around.
\nThis incident took place in that village when Niamat Ali’s son, Mason Harun, died. Later, sensing the anger of the locals, the usury money trader Morjina fled.
\nAccording to local sources, last Saturday (September 20) Mason Harun (45) went to visit his daughter’s house in Mahajanpur, Meherpur. He died suddenly of a stroke last Sunday morning. Later, when the body was brought to his own village in Damurhuda, preparations for burial were underway after Asr prayers, this inhumane incident took place.
\nLocals said that Morjina Khatun, the wife of the deceased Mohan Ali, who demanded Tk 15,000 interest from Harun while bathing the body. If the money is not paid, the body will not be allowed to be buried. The grieving family kept the body aside and started arguing over the money. Hearing the incident, the people around were shocked. Finally, after about an hour, the family was forced to pay the money. After receiving the money, Morjina fled, facing the anger of the locals and public outcry.
\nThe incident created intense anger and condemnation on social media.
\nMatinur Islam Manik, cousin of the deceased Harun, said, “My brother borrowed 8 thousand taka from Morjina Khatun a month and a half ago. He used that money for his business. On Sunday morning, Morjina demanded 22 thousand taka as interest while bathing the body. When told that the matter would be settled after the burial, Morjina claimed that she would not allow the body to be buried unless the money was received. Harun’s family said, “We wanted to leave a cow at her house.” Later, we will bring the cow along with the cash.” But he did not agree to that either. Later, Marjina Khatun reduced it from Tk 22,000 to Tk 15,000. Then the family members collected Tk 15,000 and placed it on the body bed. Later, Marjina Khatun left with that money.
\nLocals said that Marjina Khatun is a big usury trader in the area. He is destroying the people of the village. Whenever they protest, a case of violence against women is filed against him. So no one can speak against him.
\nLocal UP member Atiyar Rahman expressed his anger and said that Harun had paid the principal amount while he was alive. Collecting interest money by keeping his body after his death is a shameful, disgusting and shameful act in the eyes of the society. He has been involved in the usury business for a long time. He has even harassed many by filing cases against them.
\nWhen asked about this, Damurhuda Model Police Station OC Humayun Kabir said that he is not aware of any such incident. However, legal action will be taken against the accused after investigation if a complaint is received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
