Sayem Uddin, known as the 'July Fighter' from Feni, was assaulted on Friday night by individuals described as BNP-linked attackers. The incident occurred at Korbanpur Road intersection in Sindurpur Union of Daganbhuiyan upazila. Sayem, a Fazil student at Al-Jameatul Malahia Kamil Madrasa, was beaten by four to five assailants who left him injured at the scene. He was later rescued by Abdullah Al Zobayer, ambassador of NCP’s Feni-3 constituency, and taken to Feni General Hospital for treatment.

Sayem gained national attention on August 4, 2024, for resisting armed attackers during a student-public movement in Feni’s Mohipal area. Following the latest attack, local leaders from Jamaat and Shibir visited him at the hospital and demanded the arrest of the perpetrators. Feni General Hospital authorities confirmed that Sayem is receiving adequate medical care.

District BNP’s member secretary Alal Uddin Alal said the party would investigate the matter and requested police action against anyone involved in violence. Police confirmed receiving the complaint and said legal steps would follow.
