Plot trading on rented lands.

AHM Ataur Rahman Reza alias Crown Razor, former Crown Executive of Destiny 2000 Limited and former Treasurer of Destiny Multi-Purpose Cooperative, has not stopped defrauding. He has been embezzling crores of taka by spreading a web of fraud through different methods at different times.

Ataur Rahman Reza was sentenced to 8 years in prison and fined Tk 10 crore in the money laundering case filed by Destiny by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). He has found a new trap of fraud under the banner of two separate housing projects named Dharitree Garden City and Crown Touch Global in Srinagar, Munshiganj.

He has been defrauding people by opening those two housing projects near the Highway Police Outpost in Hashara area of ​​Srinagar Upazila and selling plots in installments. Even though he has bought a nominal amount of land, he is renting land in a large area and putting up signboards in these two housing projects and is deceiving people by advertising various facilities and benefits in these two housing projects. The same plot is being sold to countless people.

On the spot, it was seen that there is a huge signboard on the side of the road. It reads – ‘If you can prove the rent of any of our signboards, there will be a reward of one crore taka.’ A small amount of land has been filled in front of this housing project to attract buyers of the plot. But signboards have been put up on more than a thousand percent of the land. It has been seen that some people have prepared all that land for cultivation.

Local Apu Mia, who is in charge of the housing project, said that every land on which the signboards have been put up belongs to the company. My responsibility is to keep the office open. People from our head office bring buyers from Dhaka. Here, it is sold according to the katha. So far, no land has been handed over to anyone. Our filling work is going on. You should talk to Sourav Sir of the Dhaka office. If you have any expenses, Sir will manage them. Talk to Sir.

Marketing Manager Shihab Ahmed, who came from Dhaka, told our time, we work in marketing. Our job is to show them around the project area when buyers come. Management is done by looking at how and what. If you have anything to say, talk to them.

I have been paying only 15,000 taka per year for the land lease. They have been asking me many times to buy my land. But I will not sell the land. Apart from this, the company has rented a few more lands and put up signboards. He said, no one in Munshiganj buys these lands.

Monirul Islam, surveyor of Srinagar Upazila Land Office, said that the housing project named Dharitree Garden City has not yet received any approval. It has applied. There is no land registration in the name of Dharitree Garden City.

18 signboards have also been installed in the name of Dharitree Properties on the government khas land of Arial Beel in Munshiganj. Despite showing the signboards of this khas land, fraud is being committed in the name of selling plots in installments. Recently, two government advisors went to the spot and ordered the local administration to take action to stop the filling of the land of Arial Beel. They also asked to remove the signboards. But their orders were not followed.

There are multiple fraud cases and arrest warrants against Crown Reza. Despite having an 8-year sentence, Reza has always been running various fraudulent businesses without being caught. Multiple complaints have been filed against him at the police headquarters, RAB and CID by victims of fraud.

The victim, Dr. Md. Abdul Hakim Mandal, told our time, Ataur Reza was selling my company’s neem organic products at a high price through MLM. After knowing this information, I stopped providing neem products. Later, he ran away without paying me 5.4 million taka. I filed a case in this incident. Reza has been defrauding countless people in various ways. His fraud needs to be stopped.

A complaint filed with the CID states that Ataur Rahman Reza is embezzling crores of taka by selling plots in installments through various agents, organizing seminars and online in various ways. He is again smuggling that money to Malaysia. He also runs a company called GTCL in Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. Despite being a convicted accused, Ataur Rahman Reza regularly travels to Malaysia without any hindrance. He is selling a plot of Dharitri Properties to numerous people in installments of 10/12 years. Most of these lands are not in the name of the landowner. Some of the lands are abandoned properties, so there is no approval from the District Commissioner. No land has been registered in his name and there is no approval from RAJUK. Despite being convicted in the Destiny money laundering case, Ataur Rahman Reza is opening a company called Crown Touch Global Limited and embezzling huge amounts of money from thousands of people. He is smuggling most of that money to Malaysia. In this work, the company’s director Amir Hossain Mahbub, his brother Parvez Mia, nephew Minar Hossain and Krishak League central committee member Khandaker Rashed are working as his close associates.

It is known that Ataur Rahman Reza sometimes runs businesses in his own name, sometimes in the name of his wife, sister, nephew or relative. In the past, he has been defrauding by opening companies under different names including Maitree Properties, Nirapar Hospital, Pushpadhara Housing, Udyog Properties.

Meanwhile, Ataur Rahman Reza was repeatedly called to take his statement on the allegations, but he did not receive it.
