The National Citizen Party alleged that local BNP leaders and activists attacked a convoy carrying its chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary and northern region chief organiser Sarjis Alam in Habiganj. The alleged incident occurred as they were returning to Moulvibazar after completing the “July March” programme in Habiganj.

NCP spokesperson Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan made the allegation in a post on his verified Facebook page on the night of July 28. He said journalists and several NCP leaders and activists were injured in the attack. He also described it as concerning that the incident took place in the presence of police.

Bhuiyan further alleged that an NCP media team microbus was taken inside the district circuit house and vandalised. He said the attackers took away several mobile phones and cameras from the scene. The report did not include responses from BNP representatives or police regarding the allegations.
