Eight members of the Sherpur District Detective Branch (DB) police were injured in a road accident on Wednesday night, June 24, 2026, in the Goshaipur Union area of Sreebardi upazila. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. when a microbus carrying the DB team collided head-on with a CNG-run autorickshaw at the Varera Bazar area while they were traveling from Sherpur to Sreebardi for a special operation. The microbus lost control and fell into a roadside ditch, injuring all eight officers. Locals rescued the injured and took them to Sherpur District Hospital.

According to local residents, ongoing drain construction work along the road has narrowed the passage, with one side dug up and construction materials piled on the other. This has led to frequent accidents in the area. The officer-in-charge of the Sherpur DB branch confirmed the incident and said efforts were underway to recover the microbus from the ditch.

Authorities have not yet released the names or conditions of the injured officers, but all are confirmed members of the Sherpur DB unit.
