A brutal attack broke the silence of the night in the hill town of Kaptai. Md. Mamun (42), a member of Chandraghona Union Parishad and organizing secretary of the Union Awami League, was seriously injured by miscreants after being hacked with a sharp weapon.

He is currently in critical condition at Chittagong Medical College Hospital.

Yesterday at around 10 pm, an unidentified group of 4-5 masked men suddenly emerged from the darkness in the cinema hall area of ​​Kaptai. Before he knew it, they jumped on Mamun with machetes and sharp weapons.

The random beating left various parts of his body, including his head and hands, injured. Hearing his screams, locals rushed forward and the attackers quickly fled.

Mamun was rescued in a bloody state and initially taken to the local Chandraghona Christian Mission Hospital. But as the injuries were serious, doctors advised him to be immediately transferred to Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH).

According to family sources, he underwent an emergency surgery at around 5 am this Friday.

Mamun’s sister Panna Akhter broke down in tears and said, “They wanted to kill my brother. Did his political identity become a death sentence for him? We just want my brother to come back healthy.”

Chandraghona UP Chairman Md. Akhter Hossain said that now the entire family is focusing on Mamun’s treatment. However, the process of taking legal action over this barbaric attack is underway.

Kaptai Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan confirmed the incident and said that the police are looking into the matter seriously. Necessary measures are being taken to identify the culprits and bring them under the law as soon as possible.

The incident has left the area in a state of shock. Locals have demanded swift justice for the brutal attack.
