Whistle-blower under attack
FROM PAGE 20 checked out of the hospital yesterday afternoon.
Talking to The Daily Star yesterday, the victim, who had been in hiding for the last over one and a half years, said he could identify three of the four attackers: Mizan Bayati and his brother Khalil Bayati, and Kabir Sawdagar. Kabir on Friday asked Al Amin to meet him at Sayedabad to take the overdue money he was askingfor.
Khayer Bayati, the father of Mizan and Khalil, is known as the leader of a gang
involved in poaching of wildlife for years in the Sundarbans. The gang members are, however, known as fishermen at their village, Bangla Bazar under Sharankhola upazila of Bagerhat, reports our Bagerhatcorrespondent.
Al Amin said he had to leave his village after the poaching incident was unearthed. Recently, he went to the village in the dark of night to see his son who had got his hand broken. Since then, Al Amin was trying to realise Tk
7,500 from Kabir of the same village for his son's treatment.
On February 16 last year, forest authorities posing as buyers had arrested one Jamal Fakir with four skulls, three hides and 138 bones in possession while his associates escaped. Al-Amin provided information to the authorities in that episode.
Jamal, who is a member of the gang led by Khayer, had admitted that he poisoned three tigers to death, and claimed to find one skull in
theSundarbans.
The attackers, he said yesterday, were working for Jamal, who was released from jail on bail two months ago.
On Friday night, the victim said Kabir asked him to go to Sayedabad and collect the money. As he reached there at an alley near the bus stand, the four swooped on him and stabbed.
Al Amin said he had a tea store at Bangla Bazar. In December 2010, he was approached by a forest officer to help nab the
smugglers including Jamal on promises that he would be given a job at the forest department and his security would be ensured.
However, till date, he has beenprovided neither.
Upon hearing of the attack on Al Amin on Friday, Miher Kumar Doe, a forest officer in East Sundarbans, acknowledged his help in arresting Jamal, reports our Bagerhat correspondent.
The official said his department was still in the process of arranging a new job for the whistleblower and
