A case has been filed against six individuals following a shooting incident in Comilla city that left 12-year-old schoolboy Ethan Ahmed Prem injured. His father, Yunus Mia, lodged the case late Thursday night at Kotwali Model Police Station, naming Sabbir and Apu among the accused. Police confirmed on Friday that one suspect named Shraban has been detained in connection with the attack, which occurred after an anti-drug human chain event. Prem remains hospitalized at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where doctors have yet to remove the bullet.

According to Prem’s parents, he was shot on his way home during a school break. Medical officials said the bullet injured his lungs, prompting his transfer from Comilla Medical College Hospital to Dhaka for specialized treatment. Local Member of Parliament Monirul Haque Chowdhury visited the family and stated that both he and law enforcement share responsibility for the incident.

Police reported that the shooting followed clashes between two local drug groups, Apu and Sabbir, in the Katabil area. Operations are ongoing to arrest the remaining suspects.
