Land Deed Registration Controversy Involves Alleged Gang Leader and Sub-Registrar in…

Sub-Registrar Raihan Habib registered 65 land sale deeds for Md Yasin, an alleged gang leader, in a single day on October 28, 2026. This occurred shortly before Habib was scheduled for a transfer. Following the revelation, Chattogram Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mian lodged a verbal complaint with the Ministry of Law seeking an investigation into the registrations. The Ministry subsequently postponed Habib’s transfer order for seven days.

The incident highlights regulatory scrutiny over land transactions in Bangladesh, particularly involving individuals linked to criminal activities. The complaint by the Deputy Commissioner and the subsequent delay of the sub-registrar's transfer signal increased oversight of property ownership and official conduct.
