Evidence has emerged that Deepak Chandra Sarkar, headmaster of Kharia Nabarun Secondary School in Paikgacha, Khulna, holds Indian citizenship. Local residents and official investigations have also raised allegations of irregularities, corruption, and misuse of school funds under his leadership. Despite multiple inquiries confirming his dual citizenship and other complaints, he remains in his position, causing public anger in the area.

According to official documents, Deepak Chandra Sarkar is listed as a voter in West Bengal, India, while also registered as a voter in Khulna’s Laskar Union. Reports allege that he engaged in nepotism and financial transactions during staff recruitment in 2024, involving around 3 million taka. Investigations into school incentive funds for the 2022–23 fiscal year found irregularities and questionable vouchers.

Several administrative investigations between 2024 and 2026 confirmed his Indian citizenship and raised concerns about a foreign national holding an MPO-approved teaching post. The Upazila Nirbahi Officer and district officials termed the matter serious and referred it to higher authorities, but no action has been taken yet. Deepak Chandra Sarkar denies all allegations, claiming he is a Bangladeshi citizen.

A joint operation by RAB-9 and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) recovered a foreign-made one-shooter gun, 1.34 kilograms of power gel explosives, and 11 non-electric detonators in Zakiganj upazila of Sylhet. The raid took place on Friday night near a brick kiln in the Sonasar area of Barathakuri Union, based on secret intelligence information.

According to RAB, the items were found abandoned inside a plastic sack. No individuals connected to the recovered materials were present at the scene. Law enforcement authorities have initiated an intelligence investigation to identify and arrest those involved.

The seized weapon, explosives, and other evidence have been handed over to Zakiganj Police Station for further legal action under a general diary entry.

Oishee Rahman, convicted of murdering her parents, is now serving as a librarian at the Kashimpur Women’s Central Jail in Gazipur. According to prison officials, she began her sentence at age 19 and has completed 13 years of her 30-year life term under Section 57 of the Penal Code. She spends her days working in the prison library, maintaining the book register, and reading English novels. Oishee reportedly suffers from respiratory illness and maintains good behavior, though she speaks little.

The 2013 murders of retired police officer Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife shocked Dhaka’s Chamelibagh area. Oishee surrendered to police the next day, confessing to the killings before later retracting her statement. In 2015, a lower court sentenced her to death, but the High Court commuted the sentence to life imprisonment in 2017, citing her mental instability, young age, and lack of prior criminal record.

Prison sources said Oishee’s conduct has remained disciplined, and she occasionally tends to flower gardens inside the prison. Her release remains distant, though she continues to await the end of her sentence.

A murder case has been filed naming 17 individuals in connection with the killing of college student Suman Sheikh, 24, in Alfadanga, Faridpur. The case was lodged on Saturday night by the victim’s elder brother, Shamim Sheikh, at Alfadanga Police Station. Alongside the named suspects, 20 to 25 unidentified persons were also accused. Police confirmed the case on Sunday afternoon.

According to the case details, the attack occurred around 6 p.m. on Friday in the Barovag Purbo Para area of Tagarband Union. Suman Sheikh, a third-year degree student at Kashiani M.A. Khalek College, was allegedly ambushed by a group led by Hossain Sheikh, son of former union council member Kuddus Sheikh, due to previous enmity. The assailants reportedly attacked him with sharp weapons, leaving him critically injured. He was taken to Kashiani Upazila Health Complex and later transferred to Faridpur Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead around 8 p.m.

Police said operations are ongoing to arrest the suspects, who have gone into hiding. Additional forces have been deployed in the area to prevent further unrest.

Italian police have launched a manhunt for Bangladeshi national Shahadat Hossain, identified as the prime suspect in the killing of a Bangladeshi couple and their young daughter in Rome. The attack occurred around 9 p.m. local time on Friday in the Aurelio area near Via Montiglio Park. The victims were Kamal Uddin Babul, his wife Arju, and their five-year-old daughter Arisha. Their 18-year-old son Ayon was seriously injured and is being treated in hospital. Authorities have released Shahadat’s photo and urged the public to share any information about his whereabouts.

According to local reports, the killings stemmed from a long-standing personal dispute involving Shahadat and Arju. The families had previously lived in Bangladesh, where tensions over their relationship reportedly began. Kamal later moved his family to Italy, while Shahadat relocated to the United Kingdom before eventually arriving in Italy. On the night of the incident, the two sides met to resolve their differences, but the meeting turned violent.

Italian investigators believe a sharp weapon was used in the attack. Police in Rome continue to search for Shahadat, while the victims’ home village in Noakhali, Bangladesh, remains in mourning.

Serious allegations of corruption, irregularities, and substandard work have surfaced in several major projects under Dhaka WASA, including the Padma (Jashaldia) Water Treatment Plant and the Rampura-Kamalapur Pumping Station. Official documents indicate engineering flaws, excessive spending, and personal enrichment by key officials, notably former managing director Taqsem A Khan and engineer Rafiqul Islam. Despite complaints lodged with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the Local Government Ministry, investigations were reportedly suppressed during their tenure.

The Padma-Jashaldia project, costing about Tk 3,800 crore, was designed to supply 450 million liters of water daily but currently delivers only 230 million liters. ACC records describe both the Padma and the Tk 400 crore Rampura-Kamalapur projects as failures due to widespread corruption. Expert opinions from BUET highlighted the use of substandard K-9 class pipes instead of the more suitable K-10 class, raising concerns about quality and accountability.

Dhaka WASA’s debt has reportedly reached Tk 25,000 crore, while water prices have been increased 16 times. Despite these hikes, residents continue to complain about poor water quality and irregular supply.

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) destroyed narcotics valued at approximately Tk 7.375 billion in Satkhira. The destruction took place on Sunday at the Satkhira Battalion Headquarters, where the seized drugs were formally disposed of. The event was attended by senior BGB and local officials, including Brigadier General Mahmudul Hasan, the South-West Region Commander, and Lieutenant Colonel Kazi Ashiqur Rahman, the Satkhira Battalion Commander.

According to BGB, between January 1, 2025, and April 30, 2026, operations in Satkhira Sadar and Kalaroa border areas led to the seizure of smuggled goods worth Tk 1.266 billion. Among these, narcotics accounted for Tk 7.375 billion. A total of 48 individuals were arrested during these operations.

The destruction of the seized narcotics marks a continuation of BGB’s anti-smuggling and anti-drug efforts along Bangladesh’s southwestern border region.

A robbery attempt in the Mahishkata Bazar area of Amtali upazila in Barguna was foiled late on Saturday night, June 28, 2026, due to the swift action of local residents. The locals managed to capture one suspect, identified as Md. Alhaj Fakir, aged 27, and handed him over to the police. His accomplices, however, managed to escape from the scene.

According to police and local sources, a series of thefts and robberies had recently occurred across Amtali upazila. On the night of the incident, a group of seven to eight individuals was reportedly preparing for another robbery when locals noticed their movements and intervened. Police later confirmed that Fakir, a resident of Shambukathi village in Damudya upazila of Shariatpur district, admitted his involvement during interrogation and provided information about his associates.

Police have filed a case against Fakir on charges of preparing for robbery and plan to present him before the Amtali Senior Judicial Magistrate Court on Monday.

Police in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambi district have arrested three Muslim women—Shama Parvin, Shaista, and Fatima—on allegations of cooking beef at their home. The arrests followed a police raid after receiving a tip-off that a family was preparing beef. During the operation, four men reportedly fled, while the three women were detained by female officers. Authorities have sent the seized meat for forensic testing to confirm whether it is beef.

Despite the test results still pending, police have already filed a case against the three women. Officials said they are also searching for the women’s husbands and another neighbor, all of whom recently returned from Mumbai. Investigators are examining where the meat was sourced and whether similar purchases had occurred previously.

Uttar Pradesh enforces strict anti-cow slaughter laws, under which possession or consumption of beef can lead to criminal charges. Police frequently invoke these laws in similar cases across the state.

A man who had been missing for 24 days after being kidnapped was found safe and unharmed in Cox’s Bazar. The victim, Md. Imtiaz Alam, 52, a resident of Ward 3 in Cox’s Bazar town and originally from Syedpur in Nilphamari, appeared at the RAB-15 Whykong camp around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, 2026. RAB-15’s Assistant Director (Law and Media) and Assistant Superintendent of Police A. M. Faruk confirmed the development that evening.

According to RAB, Imtiaz Alam was abducted around 10:45 p.m. on June 4 by unidentified assailants. Following a complaint from his wife, a regular abduction case was filed at Ukhiya Police Station. RAB stated that its Whykong camp intensified shadow investigations and intelligence surveillance, conducting continuous raids at suspected hideouts based on secret information and technological support.

After his reappearance, Imtiaz Alam was handed over to the Pan Bazar Police Camp under Ukhiya Police Station to complete legal formalities.

Serious allegations of irregularities and corruption have surfaced in a canal excavation project in Fulbaria upazila of Mymensingh. Locals claim that instead of employing laborers, contractors used excavator machines for the work, violating project guidelines. They also alleged that the project committee’s president and general secretary took advance signatures from workers on blank bank checks. A written complaint has been submitted to the district administration demanding an investigation.

The project, under the Employment Generation Program for the Poorest (EGPP), is being implemented at a cost of over 25.7 million taka to re-excavate the Dabor Dasta–Malongi canal and build related infrastructure. Official records show 595 workers were supposed to be employed, but only a few were seen supervising the work. Locals reported that most excavation has been done by machines over the past month and a half, raising doubts about the depth and quality of the work.

District officials stated that the project is under regular monitoring and that any proven irregularities will be investigated and addressed accordingly.

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has dismissed as baseless and misleading the social media claims that multiple bodies were recovered from the Turag River. The clarification came during a press briefing held at the DMP Media Center on Sunday afternoon, where Joint Commissioner (Crime) Md Faruk Hossain stated that the allegations had been thoroughly investigated.

According to the DMP, no evidence of any murder or body recovery was found within the jurisdictions of Turag, Pallabi, or Rupnagar police stations. No complaints, general diaries, or cases were filed regarding such incidents. The DMP also confirmed that the matter had been officially addressed on the verified social media pages of Bangladesh Police. Citizens were urged not to spread or believe unverified information that could cause public unrest.

The DMP further clarified that the rumor initially circulated as if the incident occurred under its jurisdiction. However, only one body was recovered by the Aminbazar River Police, and an unnatural death case was filed at Darussalam Police Station, which falls under the River Police’s authority.

A police investigation committee has recommended departmental action against a sub-inspector and two constables for allegedly harassing national team cricketer Nayeem Hasan at Khulshi Police Station in Chattogram. The committee submitted its report to Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) Commissioner Hasan Md. Shawkat Ali on Sunday, who confirmed that the officers were found liable for misconduct. The then officer-in-charge (OC) Arif Hossain received observations in the report but was not found responsible enough for disciplinary measures.

The committee, led by Deputy Commissioner (West) Alamgir Hossain, analyzed the incident and included seven administrative recommendations in its report. The investigation followed an incident on June 12, when police stopped Nayeem Hasan’s autorickshaw at Lalkhan Bazar and took him to Khulshi Police Station, where he was allegedly assaulted. Following the incident, SI Shafiqul Islam and Constable Md. Rasel Chowdhury were suspended, and OC Arif Hossain was withdrawn from duty.

A case filed by Nayeem Hasan’s brother against two police members and a police informant remains under investigation, while the report’s observations on the OC have sparked renewed administrative discussions.

A Dhaka tribunal has sentenced human rights activist Mostakin Sharif and his wife Jannatul Naima to seven years in prison for torturing their domestic worker, Hawa Akter, eight years ago in South Banasree. The verdict was delivered on Sunday, June 28, 2026, by Judge Shahanaj Sultana of Dhaka’s Third Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal. Both convicts were also fined 50,000 taka each, with an additional six months of imprisonment in default of payment. They were present in court when the judgment was announced and were later sent back to prison.

According to the case details, on October 31, 2018, police rescued 14-year-old Hawa Akter from the couple’s residence in a severely injured condition. The investigation revealed that from July 7 to October 31, 2018, the couple had confined and tortured her using heated rods, iron spatulas, and other means, causing serious burns and injuries. The court began the trial on September 19, 2022, after framing charges, and heard testimony from nine witnesses.

The ruling concludes a prolonged legal process that began with the 2018 case filed by Khilgaon police following the rescue of the victim.

A Dhaka court has once again postponed the submission of the further investigation report in the murder case of Inquilab Moncho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi. On Sunday, June 28, 2026, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Sefatullah set a new date of July 15 after the investigating officer, CID Assistant Superintendent of Police Abdul Kadir Bhuiyan, failed to submit the report. This marks the 17th postponement of the report submission.

Earlier, on January 15, 2026, the case’s complainant, Inquilab Moncho member secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, expressed dissatisfaction with the charge sheet filed by the Detective Branch and submitted a formal objection. The court accepted his objection and ordered a reinvestigation. The initial charge sheet, filed on January 6, 2026, accused 17 individuals, including former ward councillor Taizul Islam Chowdhury Bappi and Faisal Karim Masud, the prime suspect.

According to the case details, Hadi was shot on December 12, 2025, in Dhaka’s Paltan area and later died in Singapore on December 18, 2025, while undergoing treatment.
