Police in Palashbari, Gaibandha, arrested one person following an alleged attack on officers inside the local police station on the night of March 25, 2026. The incident reportedly occurred when several members of Jamaat-e-Islami’s youth wing entered the station to file a written complaint over a government-allotted shop. A dispute broke out after they pressed for immediate action, leading to a physical altercation that left at least eight police personnel, including the officer-in-charge, sub-inspectors, assistant sub-inspectors, and a female constable, injured. The injured officers received primary treatment at Palashbari Upazila Health Complex.

Police said the attackers assaulted the officer-in-charge and launched an unprovoked attack on unarmed officers. Jamaat youth leaders claimed two of their members were also injured. A case was filed naming nine individuals and 10–12 unidentified persons. Jamaat’s local secretary termed the attack regrettable and said organizational and legal actions would follow. Local political and social groups, including the BNP and its affiliates, condemned the incident.

Authorities confirmed that one suspect, identified as Tahidul Islam Kanan of Gridharipur village, was detained after the case was filed.
