Security forces launched a violent assault on leaders and activists of the Ganadhikar Parishad (People’s Rights Council) in front of the Jatiya Party office in Kakrail on Friday night. Several leaders, including the organization’s president and former DUCSU VP Nurul Haque Nur, sustained serious injuries.
The incident occurred around 8:15 PM. Activists rushed the bleeding Nur to a hospital for treatment. Earlier in the evening, a clash and retaliatory chase broke out between Jatiya Party and Ganadhikar Parishad activists at the same location. Responding to the escalating violence, large numbers of police and military personnel arrived on the scene. Reports indicate that by 9 PM, stone-pelting continued intermittently, and security forces were working to regain control.
According to the police, stones were thrown between the two groups around 6:15 PM. Clashes and confrontations continued in phases until 9 PM.
