An illegal brick kiln in Jamalpur Sadar upazila was fined Tk 500,000 during a mobile court drive on Thursday afternoon, when a RAB vehicle providing security came under attack. The incident occurred in the Gobindapur area as the Department of Environment, led by Executive Magistrate Kishore Kumar Roy, conducted a joint operation to shut down unauthorized brick kilns in Gobindapur and Pingolhata. Despite the attack, the mobile court continued its operation, demolishing the chimney of Jiran Brick Field and later moving to Jamuna Brick Field.

Police later detained Rozina Begum and Mahmudul Hasan Sujon, a partner of the brick kiln, while the main owner, Saurav Hasan Babu, and others fled. Witnesses said a group tried to portray the detained woman as mentally ill to mislead officials. Rozina Begum admitted to throwing bricks at the RAB vehicle out of anger over potential financial losses.

Executive Magistrate Kishore Kumar Das stated that two of four illegal brick kilns in the area were targeted in the operation, with further drives planned. Police confirmed no written complaint had yet been filed by RAB or the Department of Environment.
