Residents of Shyamnagar in Satkhira staged a violent protest on Monday afternoon after the body of fisherman Aminur Rahman Gazi, who was reportedly shot dead in the Sundarbans, was brought to the locality. The demonstrators attacked and vandalized the Satkhira Range Office and the Burigoalini Station Office of the Forest Department, injuring at least five forest workers. The injured were taken to Shyamnagar Upazila Health Complex for treatment.
Eyewitnesses said anger spread among locals when the body arrived, prompting hundreds to march with sticks and surround the forest offices. Protesters damaged furniture, equipment, and assaulted several staff members. Police and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) were deployed to restore order, while the body remained in front of the office until late afternoon. Senior police officials, including the Additional Superintendent of Police for Kaliganj Circle and the Officer-in-Charge of Shyamnagar Police Station, visited the site.
A forest officer stated that the fatal shooting occurred in the Khulna Range’s Nolian Station area, not in the Satkhira Range, and expressed concern over staff safety following the attack.
