A journalist named Shahibul Islam Pipul was allegedly assaulted in Bhangura, Pabna, on Thursday evening following a Facebook post he made about a previous incident involving his younger brother. The attack reportedly occurred around 6:30 p.m. near the Bhangura bus stand, and the complaint was filed at Bhangura Police Station. Pipul, a correspondent for the Daily Jugantor and Bangla Tribune, accused Sharif, brother of Bhangura municipal BNP general secretary Sayedul Islam Buruj, and several others of carrying out the assault.
According to the complaint, earlier that day, Pipul’s brother Yasin Ali Sami was allegedly abducted and beaten by several local youths linked to the student wing of the BNP. After Pipul posted about the incident on Facebook, tensions escalated. Later, a group led by Sharif allegedly attacked him. Sharif denied the assault, claiming the dispute stemmed from an old conflict and that Pipul’s post was provocative. Sayedul Islam Buruj also denied his brother’s involvement and said he was trying to mediate between the parties.
Bhangura Police Station’s officer-in-charge Sakiul Azam confirmed receiving the complaint and said an investigation is underway.
