Rokeya Chowdhury, a resident of Mohammadpur in the city, filed the case with Ashulia Police Station, sources said.

In the case statement, the complainant alleged that Azad, also owner of Hameem Group, along with five to six others tried to grab six kathas of land owned by herself and her nephew Awal Hossain at Norosinghapur under Ashulia near the capital last year.

Failing to occupy the land, the accused demanded Tk 5 lakh as toll, added the plaintiff.

Rokeya also alleged that on September 5, 2006 the accused also threatened to kill them, as they did not pay the toll.

According to the investigation officer of the case, Kowshik Ahmed, the case was sent to Dhaka District Magistrate's Court yesterday.
