In Chattogram's regional dialect, Nadvi said, "I am going to talk to the chief engineer now. You know how bad-tempered I am? I will bury you alive," he said.
"This incident happened a month before the Union Parishad elections in 2022. Jasim Uddin was complaining to Nadwi about the bridge," Lohagara Upazila Chairman Ziaul Haque Chowdhury Babul told The Business Standard.
"The night before the incident, the nameplate of the bridge was torn down. Someone said that it was Jasim who broke it. That is why Nadwi was furious."
Nadvi and Jasim were contacted to find out about the incident, but they did not respond.
