A female police constable named Iti was assaulted on Savar Road, Dhaka, and later admitted to Savar Government Hospital in critical condition. According to the victim, she was on an urgent assignment to Kaliakair Police Station when a local market committee leader stopped her rickshaw over a speed dispute.

Despite informing him of her police duty, the leader detained the rickshaw due to traffic congestion. When the argument escalated, he reportedly struck her with a stick, knocking her off the rickshaw while mocking her authority as a police officer. The suspect has been identified as a driver of a local BNP leader.
