A disabled youth named Tansen was allegedly assaulted by supporters of BNP candidate Sheikh Rezaul Islam Rezu in Naogaon-6 (Atrai-Raninagar) constituency. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon near Pakuria playground in Raninagar upazila while Tansen was distributing leaflets for independent candidate and former minister Alomgir Kabir. He is currently receiving treatment at Raninagar Upazila Health Complex.

According to Tansen, he was attacked after being seen distributing leaflets bearing the motorcycle symbol. He accused Liton, nephew of Raninagar BNP general secretary Mosaraf Hossain, and several others of beating him despite his pleas that he was disabled and helpless. Local residents reportedly intervened, prompting the attackers to flee.

Liton, however, denied initiating the assault, claiming that he and others were attending a sports event and that the altercation began when Tansen disconnected a microphone wire. He said some excited BNP supporters slapped the youth but insisted he did not personally attack him.
