Detained former Agriculture Minister MK Anwar has been sued along with his son and daughter and a Jubo Dal leader for allegedly harassing the plaintiff by implicating in a number of cases and for forgery at BCS examination.

AKM Salauddin Ahmed of Tuzarbhanga village in Daudkandi upazila filed the case against MK Anwar, his daughter Khadiza Anwar and son Mahmud Kaizer Anwar and Jubo Dal general secretary of Meghna upazila unit Zohirul Islam with a judicial magistrate court here yesterday.

Magistrate Sarwar Alam ordered Daudkandi thana Officer-in-Charge to investigate the case.

In his complaint, Salauddin Ahmad, also a staff reporter of the Daily Inqilab, alleged that MK Anwar, misusing his power, had influenced some government officials and his party-men into filing 30 "false" cases against him as he published news on "irregularities and corruption" committed by his (MK Anwar) people.

The reporter was sentenced to 34 years and three months imprisonment in the cases. The High Court set him free on bail recently, now that the time has changed.

Khadiza Anwar passed the 22nd BCS and joined administration cadre allegedly by means of forgery on examination sheet in connivance with his father.

"She was suspended recently on charge of the forgery," he said in his complaint.
