In Nandigram, Bogura, police allegedly raided the home of a Jubo Dal leader following a protest demanding the removal of the local officer-in-charge (OC). The protest, held on Thursday night, was organized by Jubo Dal and supported by Chhatra Dal activists, who marched through the municipal area declaring a campaign against drug abuse. The demonstration was led by Abdur Rouf Rubel, senior joint convener of the upazila Jubo Dal, who announced a commitment to resist narcotics.

Local residents accused police of retaliating against the protesters by conducting searches at their homes and attempting to file false cases. They also alleged that gambling and drug trading continued openly in rural areas while police conducted only superficial operations. Locals expressed concern over what they described as reckless behavior by law enforcement.

Nandigram OC Tarikul Islam denied the allegations, stating there was no conflict with the protesters and that a case was filed after an assault incident. Additional Superintendent of Police (Media) Md. Ataur Rahman said he was aware of the anti-drug rally but had not yet received full details and would investigate further.
