RAB has arrested Belal Talukdar, the prime suspect in the violent attack on Sohag Paribahan’s counter, along with two accomplices.

On September 3, a group of 50–60 men armed with machetes and sharp weapons stormed the Malibagh counter, vandalizing property. A case was later filed against 16 named and 15–20 unidentified attackers.

Eyewitnesses reported that the clash began when counter staff asked two men to smoke away from the premises. They later brought reinforcements, sparking the sudden attack.
