Former Tongi Thana Chhatra Dal general secretary Ayub Ali, aged 52, was allegedly attacked multiple times and threatened with a pistol in Gazipur’s Tongi area on Wednesday afternoon. The assaults reportedly occurred in Dhirashram and Rajbari areas after he refused to withdraw a theft case he had filed earlier. Following the incidents, Ayub Ali lodged a complaint with Gazipur Sadar Police Station, confirmed Officer-in-Charge Aminul Islam.

According to Ayub Ali, his home was robbed on July 28 of the previous year, prompting him to file a case with Tongi East Police Station against Abbas Ali, a scrap metal trader, and his sons Rakib, Ratul, and Hridoy. He later made a general diary on August 3 after receiving threats to withdraw the case. On Wednesday morning, when both parties appeared in Gazipur Judge Court, the accused allegedly attacked him again, leaving him injured. After receiving treatment at Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital, he filed another general diary.

Rakib, son of Abbas Ali, denied the allegations, while police said an investigation is underway and legal action will follow upon verification.
