At least 10 people, including a police DSB branch member, were reported injured in an alleged attack on a National Citizen Party, or NCP, protest march in Phulbari, Kurigram, on the evening of July 30. The incident occurred beside Jame Mosque on Thana Road in the upazila town. The injured police member, Ferdous, was reported to have suffered an injury to his hand.

Witnesses said NCP activists organized the march to protest an alleged attack a day earlier on Azan Ahmed Shawon, upazila member secretary of Jatiya Chhatra Shakti. They alleged that activists from Chhatra Dal, Jubo Dal and Sramik Dal had gathered on Thana Road with sticks and pipes and launched a surprise attack as the procession approached. Several NCP and affiliated organization leaders were named among those injured, while four seriously injured people were sent to Kurigram General Hospital.

NCP activists and local residents said they identified several alleged participants from video clips circulated on social media. Chhatra Dal upazila convener Rezaul Islam Reza said NCP activists had first attacked one of their workers and claimed four Chhatra Dal members were injured in the ensuing clash. District NCP said it would pursue legal action, while police said the situation was calm.
