Jubo Dal leader loses wrist in Chuadanga attack
A local leader of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal was critically injured after a group of assailants attacked him with sharp weapons in Chuadanga municipality on Saturday night, severing his left wrist and inflicting severe injuries to other parts of the body.
The victim is Jahin Sheikh, 39, former assistant sports affairs secretary of Chuadanga district Jubo Dal and son of Rajab Ali of Hat Kaluganj village under the municipality.
Locals said the miscreants swooped on Jahin near the Homeopathy College around 11:00pm, leaving him seriously injured.
He got his left wrist severed apart from deep wounds to various parts of the body.
Locals rescued the injured and first took him Chuadanga Sadar Hospital.
As his condition deteriorated due to excessive bleeding, he was later referred to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), commonly known as the Pangu Hospital, in Dhaka for advanced treatment.
Dr Nazmus Sakib, the duty doctor at the emergency department of Chuadanga Sadar Hospital, said Jahin sustained multiple deep cut injuries from sharp weapons.
His left wrist was completely severed, while both feet were extensively slashed from the soles to the heels. He was shifted to Dhaka in a critical condition after receiving primary treatment.
Officer-in-Charge of Chuadanga Sadar Police Station Mizanur Rahman said the attack was believed to have stemmed from previous enmity.
Police have identified two suspected attackers and launched a drive to arrest them, he said, adding that an investigation is underway to determine the exact motive behind the attack and identify any other people involved, reports UNB.
