Ashik Khan, a BNP student leader, was brutally hacked to death in a violent clash over a school committee dispute in Kotiadi, Kishoreganj. The conflict arose between supporters of BNP Central Joint Secretary Nuruzzaman Chandan and Assistant Attorney General Ashikuzzaman Nazrul regarding the ad hoc committee of Chatol Baghata School & College. The altercation escalated into an armed confrontation, leading to Ashik’s death and injuries to at least four others, including the acting headmaster. Ashik's grieving mother, Rita Begum, lamented the lack of justice, saying, "If I file a case, money will settle everything, and justice will never be served."
