Dighalia Representative: Md. Rubel Sheikh.

There have been allegations of attack, beating, slashing, stealing money and mobile phones and vandalizing shops against several people in the Hajigram area of the upazila due to a previous dispute. Md. Abul Hossain (50), a resident of Hajigram area, has filed a written complaint at Dighalia police station in this incident.

According to the complaint source, on May 16, 2026, the accused Tarek Sheikh had an argument with local youth Rohan (21). At that time, when Nazmul Sheikh (24), son of Abul Hossain, tried to calm both sides, the accused Tarek Sheikh slapped him. Later, a fight broke out between the two.

As a result, on May 17, around 6:30 pm, while he was at Zahid Molya's tea shop in Hajigram village, it is alleged that the accused Azizul Sheikh, Quader Sheikh, Tarek Sheikh, Rabiul Sheikh and 4 to 5 other unidentified people attacked Nazmul with country-made weapons in a pre-planned manner. Nazmul sustained bruises on various parts of his body in the attack.

The complaint further states that at one stage of the attack, the accused Quader Sheikh took the cash worth Tk 10,400 from Nazmul's pants pocket. At the same time, Zahid Molya's tea shop was vandalized, causing damage worth about Tk 10,000.

Later, when the injured Nazmul went home and informed his family about the matter, Abul Hossain, his brother Shariful (35) and brother-in-law Wasim (35) went to the accused's house at around 7:15 pm on the same day. The complaint states that when they tried to talk about the matter, the accused attacked them and started abusing them in foul language.

At one point, accused Quader Sheikh and Rabiul Sheikh randomly hacked Shariful and Wasim with the Chinese axe they were holding, causing bloody injuries to their heads and hands. In addition, the complaint states that they beat Azizul Sheikh and Tareq Sheikh Abul Hossain and injured them in various parts of their bodies.

At that time, the complaint also states that the accused Tareq Sheikh took away a smartphone worth about 15 thousand taka used by Wasim. When local people came forward during the incident, the accused made various kinds of intimidation and threats and left. Later, the injured were rescued and taken to Dighlia Upazila Health Complex, where the doctor on duty provided them with treatment.

After discussing with the family and relatives, the victim's family filed a written complaint with Dighlia Police Station. However, the statement of the accused has not been received in this regard yet.

Police said that the complaint will be investigated and necessary legal action will be taken.
