Former adviser Geeti Ara Safia Chowdhury and her husband Nazim Kamran Chowdhury disregarding contract were trying to reassert themselves unlawfully in their rented house by giving constant death threat to the owner and guards of the house.

Professor of Saint Francis University of USA, Mahbub-ul-Islam, the owner of the house at 7/a, Road No-41, Gulshan-2, claimed this yesterday at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU).

Mahbub alleged Geeti Ara and Nazim were given rent of the house on October 2002 on a 5-year contract. Instead of leaving the house on expiry of the contract, she threatened the owner and forcibly set up a gigantic generator in the house on Thursday without seeking permission of the owner in an attempt to occupy the house.

He claimed that the cohorts of Geeti Ara assaulted him physically, while he was trying to resist them from setting up the generator.

He also claimed that she had earlier established a generator on October last year infringing a court order in this regard.

Mahbub urged the government to free his house from their occupation.
