Regional Correspondent Jaidul Kabir Bhangi
Allegations have emerged that Jaidul Kabir Bhangi, a journalist and social worker from Sreepur in Gazipur, was cheated by Abu Nasir, owner of Toyota Motors in Bogura. He reportedly fell victim to this fraud in 2024 while buying a car for his journalism work.
According to the complaint, the victim, Jaidul Kabir Bhangi, bought a car from Md. Abu Nasir, owner of Toyota Motors. He later learned that the car’s ownership and documents were all fake. Unable to find the car’s actual owner and after being subjected to various forms of fraud, he contacted the owner of Toyota Motors.
It is known that the victim, Jaidul Kabir Bhangi, paid Tk 22.50 lakh as a down payment when buying the car. Later, while verifying the car’s documents, it was found that all ownership and tax-related papers were forged. It was also learned that the car was registered in the name of the organizing secretary of Awami League in Barishal.
The complaint further states that after being deceived, the victim, Jaidul Kabir Bhangi, went to the owner of Toyota Motors, who assured him of payment by cheque. However, even after the cheque’s validity expired, the money was not paid. In this way, he was allegedly deceived with cheques over a long period.
The victim journalist said that the alleged fraudster, Abu Nasir, has long been involved in buying and selling seized and stolen cars from various districts. He allegedly misappropriates people’s money through various tactics.
Verification of the allegations showed that Abu Nasir, owner of Toyota Motors, has previously faced multiple lawsuits on fraud charges. In January 2025, he was arrested in Bogura in a fraud case.
The victim, Jaidul Kabir Bhangi, said that when he asked for his money back, the alleged fraudster, Abu Nasir, threatened and intimidated him in various ways. He alleged that Abu Nasir has been threatening victims under the shelter of influential quarters.
When efforts were made to obtain comments from Md. Abu Nasir, owner of Toyota Motors, no satisfactory response was received from his side.
Local residents said that Abu Nasir had long been carrying out fraud under the name of Toyota Motors in Bogura, using a car business as a cover. The victims have demanded legal action against him.
Jaidul Kabir Bhangi is a conscious journalist and social worker. He has long been involved in journalism and social welfare work in Sreepur, Gazipur. His falling victim to this alleged fraud has spread strong anger in the area.
