Tangail, April 5 (V7N) – A husband in Tangail has gone public with his distress after receiving threats from his wife’s extramarital affair partner. The husband, seeking protection for his life, held a press conference on Saturday, April 5, at the Tangail Press Club.

In his written statement, Mohammad Shah Alam, a resident of Bhuiyanpur's Nikla Nayapara village, explained that he married the daughter of Sapon Kajir, a resident of Ghatanadi, Bhuiyanpur Municipality, nine years ago. At the time of the marriage, his in-laws had concealed certain information, and his wife was adopted by them. Although their marital life was not always smooth, he continued for the sake of their children, a son and a daughter.

Shah Alam, who works at an NGO in Gopalganj, reported that his wife became involved in an extramarital affair. Despite being informed by neighbors, he tried to encourage her to stay faithful for the sake of their children. However, his wife grew increasingly hostile and, more recently, started an affair with Almagir Hossain, the local head of the Bhuiyanpur Upazila Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD). Shah Alam described an incident on Eid when he tried to bring his wife home, leading to a conflict. During this altercation, Shah Alam caught his wife in a video call with Almagir, which led to further abuse and threats.

The husband was subjected to physical and verbal abuse by his wife, and when he confronted the extramarital lover, he was threatened with death. Almagir, leveraging his political influence as a student leader, spread false information about Shah Alam, making it difficult for him to go about his daily life safely. Shah Alam, fearing for his life, filed a General Diary (GD) at Bhuiyanpur Police Station and appealed for justice.

At the press conference, Shah Alam called on the local authorities to take action and provide him with protection, as he feared harm from his wife’s lover and his associates. Journalists from various print and electronic media outlets in Tangail were present at the event.
