The Sadeeq Agro Farm occupied approximately 15 decimals of land of the canal and 33 decimals of land on the road in the Nabinagar Housing area, said DNCC executive magistrate Mutakabbir Ahmed on Thursday.
Sadeeq Agro, established in 2010, came to light once again after a controversy over a Tk 15 lakh goat which they reportedly sold to Mushfiqur Rahman Ifat, son of former National Board of Revenue member Matiur Rahman.
