Tangail Correspondent

Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s leader of worker’s wing was beaten by a mob in Tangail’s Mirzapur while attempting to destroy the nameplate of former MP Khan Ahmed Shuvo. The incident occurred on Thursday night at Kamarpara Bazaar in Bhawra Union.

Abul Kalam, the publicity secretary of the Upazila BNP’s worker’s wing, claimed to be an official of the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) and began dismantling the foundation stone of the ‘Kamarpara-Shashdharpatti’ road under the rural infrastructure development project.

Shafiqul Islam Shyamal, a member of the Bhawra Union Parishad, confirmed the incident. Upon hearing the news, Shyamal questioned Kalam, who failed to show written instructions for his actions. Locals present at the bazaar detained and physically assaulted Kalam, who later apologized and left the area.

Upazila BNP’s worker’s wing President, Kubbad Ali Mridha, stated that any party member involved in such actions would face disciplinary measures.

Upazila Engineer Monirul Saj-Rijan said, “I have heard about the incident. Necessary steps will be taken in consultation with the UNO.”
