Mithu and Papun forces are now the name of terror in Sadarghat of the capital. One of the collaborators of the 'Casino Emperor', this brother has become the undeclared king of extortion in the area through terrorist activities.
Although he did not have any position in the team before, he has taken the position with the help of money. He became the owner of crores of rupees overnight. The two brothers have established a reign of terror in the entire Sadarghat area.

It is learned that Jabed Hossain Papon is currently the president of Ward No. 36 Juba League and Mithu Kotwali Thana is a member of Awami League. However, in order to preserve the family tradition, their elder brother Sohag still controls the Coolie Syndicate as the Coolie Sardar of Sadarghat. And younger brother Mihir is still involved in BNP politics. Mihir controls the syndicate selling mobile food at the launch.

Looking at the changes that have taken place in their lives over the last 10 years through extortion, land grabbing, illegal residential hotel business, it seems that they have got the lamp of two brothers Aladdin.

The public toilets of Sadarghat Horkas Market were also not excluded from their extortion. Where they collect Rs 30,000 per month from three public toilets.

Meanwhile, a tea-leaf trader has filed a case against four people, including Papon, president of Dhaka Metropolitan South's 36th ward Juba League, for demanding Rs 5 lakh from him and beating him. Rezaul Karim filed a case with the Sutrapur police station last Saturday. The other accused in the case are Kotwali Thana Awami League members Jabed Hossain Mithu, Nurul Islam alias Nurul and Abdul Aziz. They are currently out on bail in this case.

According to the case, the victim used to sell tea leaves from a room on the ground floor of the 36th ward councilor's office at Sadarghat under Sutrapur police station in the last two-three months. Accused Jabed Hossain Mithu (40) and Papon (38) told him that they have been selling tea leaves on the sidewalk for a long time, this is our area. You can't do business in our area unless you pay us five lakh rupees and ask him to visit their office at Greatwall Market.

Why are you doing business in the area without paying us five lakh rupees? At the same time, the other accused randomly punched and injured the victim's body and took Rs 120,000 in cash and a mobile set from the sale of tea leaves in his pocket. The victim was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment. Later, when the physical condition of the victim worsened, the relatives of the victim admitted him to the Dhaka National Medical Institute Hospital for treatment on October 25. After receiving treatment from the hospital, he went home and discussed the matter with his relatives.

The investigation further revealed that the two main godfathers of Mithu and Papun were both anti-Awami League leaders. They are two oil and launch traders. Basically, their purpose is to create conflict between the leaders and workers and to show the power of both. Sadarghat shows its power influence with the people of whatever government is in power. These two godfathers have more than half a hundred houses and flats. They have become the owners of thousands of crores of rupees overnight. There are a dozen launches.

A shoe shopkeeper on the sidewalk of Wise Ghat, who did not want to be named, said, "I can shop here if I pay." Besides, he doesn't let me sit down. We are forbidden to talk to you. Go away, otherwise we will have problems.

On the condition of anonymity, the children's clothes seller on Sadarghat footpath said that they have to pay when the shop opens. Someone came and took the money. Later the market leaders share and eat the money. It costs 200 to 250 rupees per day. If you don't give money, you won't let them set up shop. Then what is Khamu with Polapine?

Asked about this, Ripon Bepari, general secretary of Awami League, Ward 38, said, "I can't say anything against Papon and Mithu."

He said, they did not have any political position, they did not do politics. Now they are involved in politics and extort money by discrediting the party. Because of them, the defectors of the party have become exhausted. Can't speak in fear. At one time they had nothing. Now they own property worth crores of rupees. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Ward Councilor Abdur Rahman Miaji said, "I went out of Dhaka. People from Mithu and Papun came to my office and beat people. I don't want to say anything about them. You come to the area and search, you will find everything.

Asked repeatedly about extortion, he did not want to say anything out of fear.

"I don't want to talk about it, they will solve my problem later," he said. If you come and find out, then you can see and know everything. I can't say anything like that.

Alauddin used to run a generator business next to Wise Ghat Bulbul Lalito Kala Academy. His business has been taken over. Now Ratan and Khokon are in the business of that generator.

Asked about this, Alauddin said, "I had a generator business." Not now, occupied. Now Ratan and Khokon are in the business of this generator. Somehow I came back with my life. I only survive for my sons and daughters.

Asked about the allegations, Jabed Hossain Papon said, "I don't have any house or car." There is only one house in Keraniganj. I did it with great difficulty.

"There is no evidence that I am extorting money," he said. I have some team people, they don't extort money either. If I have a gambling board in South Plaza, there is a market president. He asked the president to take action against it.

"They are saying these things against me because of local politics," he added. The property I have was even before I got into politics. Now that I do business, I have had property from there.

Asked about the residential hotel, he said, "I have not bought the floor of this hotel alone." I bought it with a few people.

Asked about the allegations of extortion, Jabed Hossain Mithu said, "No one in Sadarghat can say I am extortionist." I have earned all my hard earned money. I live in a rented flat. There are a few shops, the price will not be high. Some people have done this on purpose for political reasons. The traders of the market have made me the chairman of the committee because I am good. There have been various news against me. In protest, the traders have human chained for me.

Awami League Juba League general secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil said strict action would be taken if a written complaint was lodged against Papun. If anyone tarnishes the image of the party by doing injustice in Juba League, it will not be tolerated by Juba League. There is no place for any unjust, extortionist in Juba League.

Kotwali Police Station OC Mizanur Rahman Papon Mithu did not agree to comment on the matter!
