Six people, including cattle market leaseholder Ariful Islam Mishu, were injured in an attack by assailants in Chandpur’s Wireless Bazar area on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. when armed attackers reportedly assaulted the victims with sharp weapons. Mishu, who sustained serious injuries, was later transferred to Dhaka for advanced medical treatment.

According to leaseholder Shafik Gazi, a group including Borhan Gazi, Ferdous Gazi, Emran Gazi, and Redwan Gazi had allegedly demanded extortion money from local traders, claiming rights to set up shops on public land. When Mishu and Shafik confronted them about the demand, the group became enraged and launched the attack. Police, led by Sub-Inspector Jahed, visited the scene following the incident.

Chandpur Sadar Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge Fayez Ahmed stated that police were dispatched immediately after receiving information and that legal action would be taken upon receiving a formal complaint.
