A lawmaker from Mymensingh-3 lodged a general diary on Saturday against the new elected Gouripur Municipality mayor Syed Rafiqul Islam for allegedly threatening him.

Nazim Uddin Ahmed, the lawmaker of Gouripur constituency, filed the GD with Kotwali Police Station as Rafiqul “threatened the local lawmaker and his son with death” over political rivalry.

The municipality election was held that same day and Rafiqul, for the third consecutive time, was elected mayor. He contested as an independent candidate.

In the general diary, Nazim, also a freedom fighter, alleged that around 4:15pm on Saturday, the newly elected mayor called him (lawmaker) over phone and said, “You have ruined my life. I never forgive you. I will see you and your son [Tanjir Ahmed Rajib]. There will be blood and you will be responsible.”
