Unidentified assailants have hacked and injured a sub-inspector (SI) who filed a case over the vandalism and torching of a police vehicle in Gopalganj’s Tungipara upazila.
The attack on SI Moslem Ali took place this afternoon (15 November) when a group of assailants intercepted him while he was riding a motorcycle.
Locals rescued him and admitted him to Tungipara Upazila Health Complex, where he is receiving treatment.
Tungipara Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Ayub Ali confirmed the incident.
“A group of miscreants suddenly stopped his motorcycle and attacked him. He was hacked and injured. Locals rescued him and took him to hospital,” he said.
Police are working to identify those involved and will take legal action against them, the OC added.
According to police sources, Moslem Ali filed a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act on Friday (13 November) over the vandalism and arson attack on a police pickup van in Tungipara on 10 November.
The case names 2,224 accused, including 224 identified by name and around 2,000 unnamed individuals.
On 10 November, activists of the activities-banned Awami League and its affiliated organisations took positions at several key points in Tungipara and staged protests.
At one point, attackers vandalised a police pickup van and set it on fire. They also blocked parts of the Gopalganj-Tungipara road by burning tyres, disrupting traffic and causing public suffering.
