An attack on police officers was reported in Sujanagar, Pabna, early Thursday morning after a mosque loudspeaker announcement allegedly mobilized supporters of the banned Awami League. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. in the Doppora area of Mathurapur, leaving the officer-in-charge of Sujanagar Police Station, Mozzafar Hossain, and constable Sabuj injured. Both are receiving treatment at a local private hospital. Pabna Superintendent of Police Md. Shufi Ullah confirmed the attack.

According to police sources, the officers were patrolling the area following intelligence that local leaders of the banned Awami League, led by Sujanagar unit president Abdul Wahab, were planning a rally or sabotage under cover of World Cup football celebrations. Police claim that after their arrival, a mosque loudspeaker announcement drew hundreds of people armed with sticks and local weapons, who attacked the patrol and vandalized two police vehicles.

Abdul Wahab denied the allegations, calling them false and baseless. He said he was not present and that the clash occurred when locals intervened as police detained several youths. The police superintendent stated that legal action is being taken against those involved.
