A Mymensingh metropolitan Chhatra Dal joint general secretary, Talhazur Rahman Pratik, has been expelled after allegations that he was involved in an extortion-related assault at a pet care clinic. The incident occurred on Thursday evening at Doctors Pet Care, located in an alley beside Zila School in Mymensingh city, where veterinarian Md Ashikur Rahman treats cats and sells related supplies. The report was published on August 22, 2026.

Ashikur alleged that the accused had long demanded Tk 500,000 from him and attacked his clinic when he refused. In a written complaint filed at Mymensingh Kotwali Model Police Station on Saturday afternoon, he named Pratik, Afrin Rashid Senjuti, Sakib and four or five unidentified people. He alleged that the attackers disconnected CCTV, beat him with an iron rod, assaulted people who intervened, looted Tk 320,150 and caused about Tk 180,000 in damage.

CCTV footage circulating on social media allegedly shows a woman assaulting the veterinarian and Pratik recording the incident before joining the attack. Additional Superintendent of Police Abdullah Al Mamun said police initially learned the attack followed a dispute involving social media and the treatment and death of a pet animal. He said legal action was being taken. Metropolitan Chhatra Dal president Gobinda Roy confirmed Pratik's expulsion.
