Two leaders of the Chhatra Dal were injured in an attack by an oil trader and his associates in Lakshmipur’s Dalal Bazar area on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. The incident occurred after one of the leaders, Emdadul Haque Imon, questioned the sale of petrol at Tk 130–140 per litre, higher than the government-fixed price of Tk 116. Following an argument, the trader’s son Jihad and his followers allegedly assaulted Imon. When another Chhatra Dal leader, Al-Amin Hossain Rudra, arrived to rescue him, he was also beaten. Both were admitted to the district hospital for treatment.

Local Chhatra Dal leaders claimed the attack was retaliation for protesting against overpricing. The accused trader’s son denied the allegation, saying they were selling fuel lawfully and that Imon had caused disorder. The Dalal Bazar Union Parishad chairman confirmed that local police rescued one of the injured from a nearby house. The investigating officer of Sadar Police Station said no formal complaint had been filed yet.

The incident has sparked calls from local Chhatra Dal leaders for a fair investigation and justice for the victims.
