Authorities in Mexico reported that seven inmates were killed during a violent clash between rival gangs inside a prison in Culiacán, located in the northwestern state of Sinaloa. The incident occurred from Saturday night through Sunday, according to official statements. The prison is known to hold many members of the Sinaloa cartel, one of the country’s most powerful drug organizations.

Sinaloa state’s security ministry stated that the riot has been brought under control, but family visits have been temporarily suspended. The violence is linked to ongoing internal conflicts between factions loyal to the cartel’s co-founders, Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán and Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, both currently imprisoned in the United States. The broader struggle among rival groups has reportedly claimed thousands of lives since 2024.

Authorities have not released further details about the cause of the latest outbreak of violence or the condition of other inmates.

A Dhaka tribunal has formally begun the trial of Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna Akter in the case over the rape and murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter in Pallabi. On Monday, June 1, 2026, Judge Masrur Saleqin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Tribunal for Suppression of Violence Against Children framed charges against both accused and set June 2 for witness testimony. During the hearing, Sohel Rana told the court that his wife was innocent, but the tribunal proceeded with the charge reading. Both defendants pleaded not guilty.

According to the case file, Ramisa, a second-grade student, was found dead inside the accused couple’s flat on May 19. Police said Swapna lured the child into the apartment, where Sohel allegedly raped and killed her. The child’s father filed a case the same day, leading to the arrest of both suspects. The investigation officer later submitted a charge sheet naming Sohel and Swapna as accused, which was accepted by the court and transferred to the children’s tribunal for trial.

The court appointed a state defense lawyer for the accused, as they had no private counsel. The public prosecutor represented the state during the hearing.

A Dhaka court on Monday, June 1, 2026, began the trial of Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna Akter in the murder of eight-year-old schoolgirl Ramisa Akter in Pallabi. During the hearing, Sohel shouted in court that he did not commit rape, claiming another man named Dollar was responsible for the assault, while he admitted to dismembering the body. The court, presided over by Judge Masrur Salekin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Tribunal for Suppression of Child Violence, framed charges against both accused and set the next hearing for witness testimony on Tuesday.

According to the prosecution, Ramisa was lured into the accused’s flat, where she was assaulted and killed. Her body was later found dismembered in the bathroom of the apartment on May 19. Police arrested Sohel from Narayanganj and his wife from the scene. The defense argued that the investigation was rushed and lacked eyewitnesses. The court read out the charges, and both accused were asked to respond; Swapna broke down in tears, while Sohel claimed she was innocent.

The case has drawn attention due to Sohel’s repeated claims implicating another suspect named Dollar, though no further details about this individual were presented in court.

The hearing on charge framing in the case of the rape and murder of child Ramisa began on Monday at the Dhaka Metropolitan Tribunal for the Suppression of Violence Against Children. The session started around 11:15 a.m. in the court of Judge Masrur Salekin, where the state-appointed lawyer Azizul Rahman Dulu read out the charges to the accused. Two defendants were brought to court earlier that morning, following the court’s earlier decision on May 24 to accept the charge sheet and set the hearing date.

According to court sources, the tribunal may decide whether the formal trial will commence after the charge framing. The case accuses Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna Akter, who were charged by the investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Ohiduzzaman of Pallabi Police Station. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court had previously accepted the charge sheet and transferred the case to the tribunal.

Law Minister Asaduzzaman stated on Sunday that the government would seek the maximum punishment for the crime, citing the evidence and the accused’s confession as grounds for expecting the highest penalty.

Traders and farmers from across Bangladesh have alleged widespread extortion at the Diabari sacrificial cattle market in Dhaka’s Uttara area. According to multiple accounts, money was collected from sellers for preferred spots, sand purchases to avoid mud, and vehicle stickers for transporting animals. Reports indicate that extortion was carried out through loudspeaker announcements demanding Tk 1,000 per cow, with traders claiming losses due to poor market conditions and forced payments. The leaseholder, Sheikh Farid Hossain of SF Corporation, denied all allegations, asserting that no extortion occurred and promising legal action against false claims.

On-site observations revealed volunteers collecting money under various pretexts, including “shed costs” and “tips.” Drivers reported paying Tk 5,000–10,000 for truck or pickup stickers, while farmers said they were compelled to buy sand at inflated prices. Despite the leaseholder’s denial, disputes over payments were witnessed in his presence.

Even after Eid, waste from the temporary market remained uncleared, causing severe odor and public discomfort. City officials said cleanup was delayed because the leaseholder had not yet removed market structures, while residents demanded disinfection to prevent health risks.

A severe road accident occurred on Sunday night at Barabkunda Bazar in Sitakunda upazila of Chattogram, involving a passenger bus, a microbus, a drum truck, and a CNG-run autorickshaw. The collision left one woman, identified as Jaria Begum, dead and at least nine others injured. Following the crash, traffic on the Chattogram-bound lane of the Dhaka-Chattogram highway remained suspended for about one and a half hours, causing a long tailback stretching several kilometers.

The autorickshaw crashed into a fruit shop, fatally injuring Jaria Begum. Police and fire service teams, along with locals, conducted rescue operations and cleared the vehicles to restore traffic flow.

The injured were taken to Sitakunda Upazila Health Complex and Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Police confirmed that legal procedures are underway regarding the incident.

Bangladesh’s Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has warned that no terrorist or criminal group will be allowed to maintain a safe haven in Chattogram’s Jungle Salimpur area. He issued the warning on May 31, 2026, during a press briefing after inspecting the site in Sitakunda upazila. Senior government and law enforcement officials, including the state minister for land and the Chattogram city mayor, were present during the visit.

The minister said that past political criminalization had fostered a “state within a state,” with Jungle Salimpur serving as a visible example. Following reports of armed attacks and extortion, the government launched a joint law enforcement operation on March 9 to dismantle the parallel control system established by criminals. He noted that some objectives were not fully achieved due to information leaks but confirmed that ringleaders and land grabbers behind the violence were being identified.

Ahmed assured residents that no immediate evictions would occur and that a sustainable resettlement plan would be developed. He also announced plans for a modern road network and new security infrastructure linking Salimpur with nearby areas to permanently eliminate criminal activity.

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md. Anisul Huq stated that the government will seek the highest punishment in the Ramisa murder and rape case. He made the remark on Sunday afternoon, emphasizing the government’s commitment to ensuring justice in the case.

The minister also highlighted the independence of Bangladesh’s judiciary, noting that the government has no control over the posting or disciplinary matters of Supreme Court judges. He acknowledged that political influence had been alleged in the past but maintained that the judiciary remains largely independent. Addressing the issue of case backlogs, he mentioned that around 4.5 million cases are currently pending due to a shortage of judges and lawyers.

The report further notes that the state has appointed a lawyer at its expense for the Ramisa case, and charges have been framed against Sohel and his wife, with proceedings scheduled to begin on June 1.

A mosque in Rotterdam, Netherlands, was attacked late Thursday night when six individuals vandalized the Mevlana Mosque, according to the Islamic Foundation Netherlands (ISN). The attackers reportedly damaged a mosaic wall, threw beer bottles at the building, and urinated in front of it. Despite repeated calls from mosque authorities, police arrived only after the attackers had left the scene.

In a statement issued Friday, ISN criticized the police for failing to respond promptly, saying officers did not consider the incident an immediate threat or emergency. The organization expressed concern that such assessments undermine the safety of worshippers and their right to practice religion without fear. It also noted that attacks targeting Muslims and mosques have been increasing, leaving congregants feeling unsafe.

ISN confirmed that it has filed a formal criminal complaint and urged authorities to prioritize the investigation into the attack, citing deep concern over both the vandalism and the delayed police response.
