Students and members of Inquilab Mancha staged a road blockade in Lalmonirhat on Friday evening to protest a reported police attack on their leaders in Dhaka. The blockade began around 6 p.m. at Mission Mor and continued until 4 a.m., halting all vehicular movement. Participants included 15–20 students, among them Sajjadur Nabi, Al Nahirar Kabir, Sabbir Islam Sajib, Al Amin, and Emdadul Haque Naim.

Protesters demanded justice for the killing of Shaheed Osman Hadi and a fair investigation into the police assault on Inquilab Mancha’s Abdullah Al Jaber, Fatima Tasnim Juma, and Salauddin Ammar. They expressed frustration that such incidents were occurring in post-2024 Bangladesh and criticized the lack of visible progress in Hadi’s murder case. The demonstrators vowed to continue the blockade until receiving instructions from their central leadership.

Earlier, a separate protest march was held in Rangpur city organized by Jatiya Chhatra-Shakti. The Lalmonirhat blockade disrupted road connectivity between the Burimari land port and the rest of the country.
