At least three people were injured when stones were thrown at an election rally of Abdul Hannan Masud, the candidate nominated by the 11-party alliance, in Hatiya upazila of Noakhali. The incident occurred on Saturday evening at Talatala Bazar in Tamraddi Union, where Masud was addressing supporters. Following the attack, tension spread throughout the area as the assailants fled the scene.
According to the National Citizen Party (NCP), the attack took place while Masud was delivering his speech, allegedly by individuals supporting the BNP. The injured were identified as Didar Uddin, son of Abdur Rahman from Ward 8, and Sompod, son of Mozammel Hossain from Ward 5, along with another person. They received local medical treatment.
NCP’s Hatiya upazila convener, Shamsul Tibriz, condemned the attack, accusing the BNP of attempting to disrupt the electoral environment and manipulate polling centers. He demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the violence.
