A police team came under attack during an operation in Srinagar upazila of Munshiganj on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. in Kathalbari village under Bir Tara Union, where police attempted to detain Sabbir Sheikh, 35, the general secretary of the banned Awami League unit in the area. During the raid, police handcuffed Sheikh, but his followers reportedly pushed officers aside and freed him. Around a hundred people armed with sticks then attacked the police, leaving Sub-Inspector Razzak seriously injured. Sheikh escaped the scene still wearing handcuffs.

Following the attack, additional police personnel, including the Additional Superintendent of Police (Srinagar Circle) Anisur Rahman and Officer-in-Charge Jewel Mia, arrived at the location. Attempts to contact both officers for comment were unsuccessful, as they did not respond to phone calls. Police sources said preparations were underway to take legal action regarding the incident.

Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any arrests were made after the attack or provided details on Sheikh’s current whereabouts.
