A representative of the National Citizen Party (NCP) was reportedly attacked by assailants in Debidwar upazila of Comilla. The incident occurred in Barkamata Union’s Ward No. 8, where NCP representative Mohammad Kawser Alam was allegedly stabbed and beaten by unidentified attackers, leaving him critically injured. The attack drew strong condemnation from Hasnat Abdullah, the NCP’s chief organizer for the southern region and the 11-party alliance candidate for Comilla-4 (Debidwar).

In a Facebook post at 11:45 p.m. on Monday, Abdullah denounced the assault, claiming it was part of a campaign of terror and intimidation that also included the burning of election banners earlier in the day. He vowed to pursue legal action against those responsible and expressed confidence that Debidwar residents would respond to the violence through their votes on the 12th.

Debidwar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Moniruzzaman confirmed that police visited the scene and began an investigation. He said the injured man is under treatment and that no formal complaint has yet been filed, but legal action will follow once a complaint is received.
