A group of drug dealers allegedly attacked Jubo Dal leader Zahid Uddin in Cumilla’s Adarsha Sadar upazila after he tried to stop them from using yaba. The incident occurred on April 10 in the Chapapur area of Jagannathpur Union, shortly after Friday prayers. Zahid Uddin, the joint convener of the upazila Jubo Dal, was seriously injured and is now receiving treatment at Cumilla Medical College Hospital.
Local sources said drug trading has long been active in the border-adjacent area. Following the formation of anti-drug committees under the BNP-led government, tensions rose among local drug dealers. Residents reported that the attackers also injured another man named Rubel, who had earlier informed the anti-drug committee about local drug use. Both victims said the attackers used sharp weapons during the assault.
Victims and local residents believe the attack was retaliation for their anti-drug activities. They have demanded a proper investigation and justice. Cumilla Kotwali Model Police Station’s officer-in-charge said no formal complaint had been received yet but assured action once a report is filed.
