In July 2018, members of Bangladesh Police detained Zaher Ali and his son and tortured them in detention. They were threatened with execution and forced to sign over his property in Rupganj Union and Demra to Anondo Police Housing Society. The documents were taken by Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police Gazi Mozammel Haque who is also a director of the society. On 14 March 2019, Zaher's daughter-in-law filled a case in Dhaka court against Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police Gazi Mozammel Haque, his wife, Detective Branch Inspector Dipok Kumar Das, Rupganj Police Station O.C.
