In a joint operation by law enforcement agencies in Mirpur, Dhaka, three activists of the opposition Jubo Dal were arrested with 30 rounds of ammunition. One of them, Asif Shikdar, reportedly fell ill during transport and died on the way to the hospital.
Asif, a former Chhatra Dal ward-level secretary and a candidate for a Jubo Dal leadership position, was alleged by his family to have been tortured to death during the raid. Police claim the ammunition was recovered during the operation and the suspects were transferred to the station after interrogation. Asif’s condition deteriorated in the police vehicle en route to the hospital, they said.
Dhaka Metropolitan West Chhatra Dal president condemned the incident, demanding a lawful investigation, stating, "We do not support any form of extrajudicial killing."
