A protest march was held in Gulistan on Sunday in response to what organizers described as a brutal attack by extortionists, occupiers, and terrorists on local traders. The demonstration, organized by the Committee for Prevention of Extortion, Land Grabbing, and Terrorism, began with a rally at the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque and proceeded through several key points before ending at Gulistan Zero Point. Many traders and shop employees from Gulistan, Baitul Mukarram Mosque Market, and Stadium Market participated.

Speakers at the rally, including business leaders and Jamaat-e-Islami-affiliated figures, alleged that extortionists attacked traders on Saturday afternoon as they prepared for a protest march. Several traders, including Kabir Hossain, were reportedly injured, but police had not made any arrests. They accused law enforcement of protecting the attackers instead of ensuring public safety.

Committee president and labor leader Abdus Salam condemned the attack and warned that any group sheltering extortionists or terrorists would face consequences similar to those of the ruling Awami League, urging authorities to bring all offenders to justice regardless of political affiliation.
