Staff Reporter

Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury held an emergency press conference at his residence in Baridhara at 3 AM on Sunday night. He stated, “We are taking measures to improve the law and order situation. There has been significant improvement, and it will continue to get better.”

Just three hours after his statement, a young man was brutally stabbed and critically injured by miscreants in the Shamibagh area of Sayedabad, Dhaka. The victim, Md. Shamim (25), works at the Sayedabad Terminal and resides there.

The incident occurred around 6 AM on Monday. Inspector Md. Faruk of the Dhaka Medical College (DMCH) Hospital police outpost confirmed the information.

Injured Shamim recounted that early Monday morning, several individuals called him out and then stabbed and beat him. After the attack, he ran to the terminal area and collapsed. Locals rescued him and took him to Mugda General Hospital.

After initial treatment, he was transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced care.

No information has been found yet regarding who attacked him or why. However, locals suspect that personal disputes with members of a juvenile gang might be the reason behind the incident.

Milon, a local resident who brought Shamim to the hospital, said he often saw Shamim in the area. Shamim worked at the terminal and lived there. His father, Iqbal, sells vegetables in Maniknagar, while his mother stays in their village home.

The address of their village home could not be ascertained. Shamim’s father has been contacted after the incident.

Inspector Md. Faruk confirmed that Shamim is currently undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
