Anwar Khan Mukim, owner of Meraj Hardware in the district town, filed the case against Bachchu, also a close associate of detained former deputy minister Ruhul Kuddus Talukdar Dulu, and 12 others with Sadar Police Station on Thursday night.

Anwar alleged that Dulu's terrorist wing commander Dewan Shahin and his accomplices picked him up from his shop on September 3, 2006 and took him to Bachchu's chamber at Kanaikhali.

Anwar further alleged that Bachchu at gunpoint forced him to put his signature on a bank cheque for Tk10 lakh and asked him to give the money.

Anwar said he drew the amount from Janata Bank local branch and gave it to Bachchu.

Anwar in his case stated that he did not file the case at that time fearing attack on his life.
