Farrqoue receives ‘death threat’

Former opposition chief whip and BNP publicity secretary Zainul Abedin Farrqoue filed a general diary (GD) with Senbagh Police Station, Noakhali as he received death threat over phone. Farroque told UNB that a youth phoned him from a T&T number from Dhaka around 11am and threatened to kill him as he at an Iftar party criticised the local MP, elected uncontested from his constituency in the January 5 election. Zainul Abedin said he filed the GD with Senbagh Police Station to this end and claimed that police identified that the threat was issued from a phone-fax shop in the capital’s Jatrabari area.
