In Jhenaidah, angry students set fire to three buses and vandalized a fuel pump on Saturday night following the killing of Al Miraj Nirab, chief organizer of the Jhenaidah Sadar unit of the anti-discrimination student movement. Police said Nirab was beaten to death by workers at Taj Filling Station after an argument over fuel purchase. The incident triggered violent protests at the central bus terminal, where buses of J Line, JR, and Royal Paribahan were burned. Firefighters later brought the blaze under control.
At the same time, protesters attacked and vandalized Srijoni Fuel Pump at Arappur Bus Stand, owned by Awami League leader Harunur Rashid. Abu Hasnat Tanaim, joint member secretary of The Red July organization, condemned the killing and demanded a fair investigation and exemplary punishment for those responsible. Nirab’s foster father, Abul Kashem, also demanded justice, saying his son was beaten for protesting discriminatory fuel sales.
Police reported that the situation is now under control, with additional forces, RAB, and army patrols deployed across Jhenaidah to prevent further unrest.
