Two Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) candidates in Noakhali were unable to attend their scheduled exam after being targeted by a criminal group known as an 'unconsciousness gang'. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 11, 2026, near Mehran Dine Restaurant in Maijdee town. The victims, Jannatul Naima and Fahima Akter Shoshi, both 19 and science students from Noakhali Government College, lost their exam admit cards, gold ornaments, and other documents.

According to relatives, the two friends were traveling by a CNG-run autorickshaw to their exam center at Sonapur Degree College when the gang rendered them unconscious and fled with their belongings. Locals later rescued the students and informed their families. They are now receiving treatment at a local hospital.

Sudharam Model Police Station’s officer-in-charge Nazrul Islam confirmed that the victims’ guardians filed a complaint. Police have sent a team to the scene, seized the autorickshaw, and launched an operation to arrest the suspects and take legal action.
