Nur suffered serious injuries to his nose and was initially treated at Islami Bank Hospital in Kakrail before being transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s ICU.

Gono Odhikar alleges that their peaceful demonstration was attacked from behind by Jatiya Party supporters, prompting law enforcement to intervene forcibly.

Meanwhile, Jatiya Party leaders claimed Gono Odhikar activists assaulted their supporters while marching past their office.
