Police officers came under attack during an anti-drug operation in Sarikaite Union of Sandwip upazila, Chattogram, late on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. in Ward No. 9 when police responded to a 999 call reporting the detention of a man named Didar with drugs. Upon arrival, officers found two local BNP factions engaged in a clash. During the chaos, a man named Manna was seriously injured, after which a group of alleged drug dealers and their followers blamed the police and launched a coordinated attack involving about 50 to 60 people. Two sub-inspectors, Apel and Nur Mohammad, were injured in the assault.

Additional police forces later arrived, rescued the injured officers, and brought the situation under control. The injured policemen received primary medical treatment. Police have detained three suspects—Fahim, Tahin, and Niloy—in connection with the attack. Sandwip Police Station Officer-in-Charge Sujon Halder stated that a case is being processed and that the special anti-drug operation continues with additional forces deployed in the area.
