NCP files police complaint over Habiganj attack
The National Citizen Party (NCP) has filed a complaint with police over Tuesday's attack on its convoy in Habiganj.
The complaint was lodged around 8:30pm on Wednesday at the Kamaichhara Police Outpost in Bahubal upazila, NCP Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary said in a Facebook post.
Earlier on Wednesday afternoon, police stopped a convoy of NCP leaders travelling from Moulvibazar to Habiganj following the imposition of Section 144 in Habiganj municipality.
The convoy, carrying NCP Convener Nahid Islam, Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, Chief Organiser (South) Hasnat Abdullah and Chief Organiser (North) Sarjis Alam, left the Moulvibazar Circuit House around 4:30pm but was halted in the Cha Kanya area of Sreemangal of Moulvibazar about 5:00pm.
At least 15 NCP leaders and activists, including Sarjis, were injured in Tuesday's attack, during which the microbus carrying the leaders was vandalised.
According to the NCP, the attack came while Sarjis and Nasiruddin were leaving the venue after addressing a programme marking the July mass uprising near the Court Mosque.
Police later escorted the two leaders to the Circuit House for security.
The NCP alleged that activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal carried out the attack, reports UNB.
