Accusing top BNP leaders of conspiring to ‘abduct and kill’ him, Sajeeb Wazed Joy said he has provided a ‘victim statement’ in a US court.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son posted a status on Facebook on Sunday night, few days after a US court sentenced Rizve Ahmed, aka ‘Caesar’.
Ahmed was handed three and a half years in prison for bribing a FBI special agent for information on a prominent Bangladeshi citizen.
He is the son of Mohammad Ullah Mamun, vice-president of BNP’s cultural wing JaSaS, who stays in Connecticut’s Fairfield County.
Joy said, he provided the victim statement in court on March 4, before Ahmed was sentenced to prison. His Facebook post provided a link to a press release issued on Mar 4 by the Justice Department.
He said he would bring those behind the conspiracy to justice ‘no matter how big a position they hold in the BNP’.
“Caesar was promised $40,000 per month and given the first payment of $30,000 in cash directly from very senior BNP leaders in Bangladesh. I cannot disclose their names because the investigation is ongoing. The BNP had planned to kidnap me and kill me here in the US.”
The court observed that Ahmed sought confidential law enforcement information, including a Suspicious Activity Report, about “a Bangladeshi political figure affiliated with a political party opposing Ahmed’s views.”
