An alleged attack on Sajib, president of the Satutia Union unit of the Jhalakathi Rajapur Chhatra Dal, took place on the night of July 6 at Lebubunia market. According to reports, Sajib, his elder brother Babul, and another person named Kaif were injured when a group of 10–12 people armed with sharp weapons attacked them. Sajib was admitted to Rajapur Upazila Health Complex, while the others received primary treatment.

Local sources said the attackers, led by Sohel Akon, Shamim Akon, and Afzal along with his brothers Faisal and Solaiman, had long been involved in drug trading in the area. The clash reportedly began after Sajib and locals protested against their activities, leading to a heated argument that later escalated into violence.

Afzal denied the allegations, claiming the dispute stemmed from a business issue involving coconuts. Rajapur police said they had received verbal information about the incident and would take legal action upon receiving a written complaint.
