Staff Correspondent

Renowned sculptor Rasha has been subjected to a mob attack led by an individual named Mehedi Hasan. A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, has sparked widespread anger and condemnation nationwide.

The video shows Rasha being publicly harassed, with allegations of links to the Awami League leveled against him. However, no evidence of political involvement has been found. Social media posts express outrage, with one stating, “Is this what freedom means—anyone can be humiliated at will?”

Mehedi Hasan accused Rasha of being an “Awami League accomplice” and demanded to know if any cases had been filed against him. Blocking Rasha’s rickshaw, he blamed him for barricading Khaleda Zia’s residence and verbally abused him. When Rasha denied the allegations and attempted to walk away, Mehedi reportedly kicked him.

While some claim Mehedi Hasan is affiliated with Jubo Dal, there is no reliable evidence or media reports confirming this. The incident has caused local unrest, with many viewing the attack as an example of deteriorating law and order and personal vendettas.

So far, local authorities or police have not issued any official statements or announced an investigation. The exact motive and background of the attack remain unclear, but the viral video continues to provoke heated reactions on social media.

Civil society and social media users are calling for a swift investigation and punishment for those responsible. The incident has reignited concerns about rule of law and public safety in the country.
