Police in Pabna’s Ishwardi have arrested 21-year-old Tushar Hossain, who went viral on social media for brandishing a firearm during a violent clash between BNP and Jamaat supporters on November 27. The district detective branch (DB) captured him Monday night in Sirajganj after tracking his location using technology and local sources. Upon interrogation, Tushar admitted to hiding an illegal pistol and two live cartridges, which police later recovered from a buried spot in Ishwardi. The earlier clash, triggered during Jamaat candidate Professor Abu Taleb Mondol’s campaign, saw gunfire, arson, and the destruction of over 50 motorcycles, leaving dozens injured. Both BNP and Jamaat filed counter-cases naming 71 individuals and hundreds of unidentified suspects. Tushar is the sixth accused in one case and now faces additional charges under the Arms Act. Authorities confirmed his identity and said the investigation is ongoing to determine his political affiliations and role in the violence.
