A prominent Islamic scholar, Maulana Qari Md. Abu Raihan, was allegedly beaten and seriously injured in a boundary dispute in Kalibajail village under Deokhola Union of Fulbaria upazila, Mymensingh. The incident occurred on Sunday morning when a long-standing land boundary disagreement between neighbors escalated into violence. According to the complaint, neighbor Mosharraf Hossain attacked Abu Raihan with an iron rod, leaving him critically injured. He was first taken to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital and later referred to Dhaka for advanced treatment.

The victim, aged 64, is a senior teacher at Lalbari Madrasa in Dhaka and the son of late Maulana Shohrab Ali. His elder brother, Abu Sayeed, reported that the family has been facing threats and feels unsafe since the attack. Abu Raihan’s son, Kawsar Jamil, filed a written complaint with Fulbaria Police Station naming four accused. Police visited the scene on Tuesday and confirmed that legal action is underway, with efforts ongoing to arrest the suspects.
