The National Citizen Party (NCP) has alleged that local activists of Chhatra Dal attacked its convoy after a July march in Habiganj on Tuesday evening, leaving the party’s Convener Nasiruddin Patwary and Northern Region Chief Organiser Sarjis Alam injured.

The attack took place in Habiganj municipality after NCP leaders concluded a march along the town’s main road, a duty officer at Habiganj Sadar Model Police Station confirmed.

Following the incident, the party claimed that several people were injured and that a vehicle carrying journalists was vandalised.

According to NCP Joint Member Secretary Saleh Uddin Sifat, the convoy carrying Patwary and Sarjis came under a sudden attack by local Chhatra Dal activists while leaving the venue.
