Comilla-6 Member of Parliament Monirul Haque Chowdhury visited the mother of a sixth-grade student who was shot during a violent incident in the Katabil area of Comilla city. The MP expressed outrage that drug dealers continue to operate freely while innocent students are harmed. He said it was unacceptable for law enforcement and public representatives to retain their positions under such circumstances. Chowdhury assured that those involved in drug trafficking would be brought to justice.

The MP met the injured student’s mother, Sonia Akter, on Thursday night and promised to arrange advanced medical treatment in Dhaka. He also stated that he had already spoken with the Deputy Inspector General and the Superintendent of Police in Comilla and expected immediate results. The student, Ethan Ahmed Prem, aged 12, was shot in the back while returning home from school and is now receiving treatment in Dhaka.

The shooting occurred during an anti-drug human chain program in Katabil, where at least five people were injured. Authorities have not yet provided further details on the suspects or the investigation’s progress.
