Three people were injured in a violent attack on business establishments at Paghar Jhinu Market in Tongi, Gazipur, on Sunday afternoon. The victims, identified as businessman Shahadat Hossain, Firoz Mia, and shop employee Rohan, were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Witnesses said a group of assailants fired several blank shots during the incident, spreading panic across the area. Police from Tongi East Station visited the scene following the attack.

According to local residents, the assault followed an earlier attack on Saturday on a local studio owner, allegedly by a group led by Jasim alias Chor Jasim. On Sunday, the same group reportedly launched another assault on Liton Enterprise, looting around seven lakh taka and several mobile phones. When shop owners tried to resist, the attackers allegedly stabbed several people before fleeing after firing blank rounds.

Tongi East Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mehedi Hasan confirmed the firing of blank shots and said legal action is in process. He suggested the incident may have stemmed from previous enmity.
