A college student named Saidul Islam Sajib, aged 25, died while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital following an attack in Lochanabad village of Rangasree Union, Bakerganj upazila, Barishal. The incident occurred on Saturday morning, March 28, 2026, when a group allegedly led by Milan Khan attacked Sajib’s family over a land dispute. Sajib, who had recently completed his honors final-year exams at Barishal Government College, suffered a brain hemorrhage and succumbed to his injuries early Tuesday.

Four other family members—Abul Hossain Khan, Piyara Begum, Hasan Ali Khan, and Ayesha Begum—were also injured and received primary treatment at the upazila health complex. Abul Hossain Khan later filed a case against eight individuals under case number GR 88/26.

Despite four days passing since the attack, none of the accused have been arrested, and locals expressed anger as the suspects reportedly remain at large. Allegations have also surfaced that police recorded a false case in favor of the accused, fueling public dissatisfaction in the area.
