Police in Jagannathpur, Sunamganj, recovered the hanging body of a young man on Sunday morning, May 10, 2026. The body was found in a tin-roofed shed adjacent to the southern boundary wall of Jagannathpur Model Government Primary School. The deceased was identified as Anas Ali, aged 32, son of the late Azman Ali from Aliabad village in Jagannathpur.

According to local sources, Anas Ali was unmarried and had been suffering from mental instability for several years. He often wandered the streets and occasionally stayed at home. Locals discovered him hanging with a rope inside the shed near the school wall.

Jagannathpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Shafiqul Islam stated that police recovered the body and prepared an inquest report.

Four tourists, including a university student, were injured in an attack at Guliakhali Beach in Sitakunda upazila of Chattogram on Saturday afternoon. The incident began with an argument between local youths and tourists over the use of a swing, which escalated into physical assault. Police have filed a case naming five individuals in connection with the attack.

Local business owners and visitors alleged that a group of influential youths have long been creating disturbances at Guliakhali Beach, often clashing with tourists over parking, seating, and food bills. They said the absence of adequate security has allowed such incidents to increase. Despite the beach attracting thousands of visitors daily, there is still no permanent police outpost or effective beach management committee.

Sitakunda police confirmed that officers responded to the scene, rescued the injured, and arranged medical treatment. The upazila executive officer stated that measures will be taken to ensure the safety of tourists at all local attractions.

At least 12 police officers were killed and five others injured in a car bomb and gun attack on a checkpoint in Pakistan’s northwestern Bannu district on Saturday night, officials said Sunday. The assault occurred in the Fateh Khel area when a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden vehicle into the police post, followed by multiple armed assailants entering the site, according to Bannu police officer Muhammad Sajjad Khan.

Officials reported that the attackers used heavy weapons and small drones during the assault and took police weapons while retreating. One officer remains missing. The attack is part of a recent surge in militant activity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which has strained relations between Islamabad and Kabul.

Authorities noted that similar incidents have increased in Bannu and other border regions in recent years. Afghanistan’s Taliban government has denied Pakistan’s accusations that militants use Afghan territory as a safe haven, but tensions between the two neighbors have continued to rise.

Over the past four and a half decades, 37 teachers and students have been killed in politically motivated violence at Rajshahi University. Among the victims were four teachers and 33 students from various political organizations. Most of these killings, which occurred between 1982 and 2026, remain unresolved, with perpetrators often escaping justice due to political influence, administrative inaction, or lack of proper investigation.

The incidents stemmed from campus power struggles, hall control, extortion, and national political movements. The first killing occurred in 1982 during a clash between the Islami Chhatra Shibir and a coalition of left-leaning student groups. Subsequent years saw repeated violence involving Shibir, Chhatra League, Chhatra Dal, and other organizations. Several teacher murders, including those of Professors Taher, Yunus, Shafiul Islam Lilon, and Rezaul Karim Siddique, also shook the campus.

University officials and student leaders expressed differing views on the causes and accountability. Police cited witness shortages and lack of follow-up by plaintiffs, while student leaders blamed political interference. The university proctor stated that student politics remains allowed but expressed hope that past patterns of violence will not return.

In Gazipur’s Kapasia upazila, five members of the same family were killed at their home in Rautkona village on Saturday morning, leaving the local community in shock.

Under his direct supervision, the victims’ bodies were sent for autopsy the same night and later transported to their home district, Gopalganj.

Senior administrative officials, including the Additional District Magistrate and the Upazila Nirbahi Officer, visited the scene on the DC’s instructions to support the grieving family. Considering the urgency and the risk of decomposition, the DC arranged for the post-mortems to be completed at night, despite regular hospital hours ending earlier. He also provided two refrigerated vans for safe transport and ensured financial assistance for burial and logistics.

Police suspect that Sharmin Khanam’s husband, Forkan, may have committed the murders before fleeing. The DC’s prompt and compassionate actions brought some comfort to residents amid the tragedy.

An Awami League leader in Gobindapur, Jamalpur Sadar, restarted operations at an illegal brick kiln only 24 hours after a court ordered its closure and demolition of its chimney. The kiln owner, Khorshed, who is a member of the Sharifpur Union Awami League and an elected union council member, resumed brick production without obtaining any new permission, in defiance of the court’s directive. Local residents have expressed strong resentment over the violation.

Earlier, an operation led by Executive Magistrate Kishore Kumar Roy from the Department of Environment, assisted by RAB and police, bulldozed the kiln’s chimney and imposed a fine of Tk 50,000, ordering the site to shut down. Khorshed admitted that no authorization had been secured for rebuilding or restarting the kiln.

Jamalpur Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Yusuf Ali stated that upon receiving reports of the violation, he instructed the Upazila Nirbahi Officer to take necessary action regarding the matter.

Allegations have been raised against three individuals, including a union-level Jubo Dal leader, for cutting several old rain trees along a government road between Titpalla Bus Stand and Kamalkhan Bazar in Jamalpur Sadar upazila. Locals reported that Mizanur Rahman (Mizu), Sohel, and Shahin felled the leaning trees and took parts of them to their homes, while the remaining wood was stored at Emdad’s sawmill in Biyara Bazar. Residents claimed the trees were cut without any official permission, prompting demands for a formal investigation and legal action.

Sawmill owner Emdad reportedly admitted the incident, and land office officials later recovered branches from six of the eleven tree sections, with five still missing. Mizanur Rahman acknowledged spending money on the cutting but did not clarify whether permission was obtained. Land officials said recovery efforts were ongoing. The district Jubo Dal leadership stated that wrongdoing would not be tolerated and promised internal action after investigation. The Upazila Nirbahi Officer directed a full inquiry and recovery of the felled trees.

The incident has sparked widespread discussion and criticism in the local area.
