The Hindu community people have sought intervention of the prime minister to save an over 50-year-old temple at Sutrapur in the city from grabbers.
They sought the prime minister's help for saving the Sri Sri Ram Sita Temple at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Monday.
Ganesh Chandra Ghosh, president of the temple management committee, alleged that Shamim Ahmed was trying to grab the temple land, once owned by zemindar [landlord] Ramesh Chandra Singha of Durgapur in Mymensingh, claiming that he had bought the land.
He said the land on Joy Kali Mandir road was identified as 'temple' in cadastral survey [CS] and ongoing Dhaka city survey.
He alleged that Shamim took a loan from Motijheel branch of Rupali Bank showing fake document of ownership of the temple land.
Shamim was sent to jail following a case filed by the temple committee.
'After coming out of jail on bail, he is again claiming the land and trying to sell it to others. We, the Hindu community people, cannot go to the temple to worship in fear,' Ghosh added.
General secretary of Sutrapur Puja Celebration Committee Bhaskar Chowdhury and joint general secretary of the temple management committee Arun Sarker Rana were also present at the press conference.
