A case was filed against the officer-in- charge and a sub-inspector of Sonaimuri police station Friday on charge of extortion.
Hazera Khatun, wife of Shukmiah of Hirapur village in Sonaimuri, filed the case with a Noakhali court against OC Abdus Samad and SI Ariful Amin accusing them of extorting money from her, reports UNB.
The court took the case into cognisance and fixed Sunday for giving necessary directives.
In the case statement, Hazera alleged that the accused detained her son Abu Taher Sujon alias Zahid, 13, at Hazi Bari road of Muradpur while he was returning home from Sonaimuri Bazar at 8pm on August 24.
When Hazera came to know the matter, she along with her daughter Taznaher turned up at the police station the same night and asked Abdus Salam to release her innocent son.
But, the OC demanded Tk50,000 to release the boy and threatened to implicate him in an arms case unless the amount was given.
As Hazera refused to comply, Zahid was sent to the court in an arms case on August 25, she claimed.
