By In Joypurhat’s Khetlal upazila, a police station was attacked under the leadership of a BNP leader following a dispute over extortion. The incident occurred on Tuesday (March 18), shortly before Iftar. According to police, BNP Ward-9 President Kabir Chowdhury and his associates demanded Tk 50,000 from local resident Tofazzal Hossain at the sub-registry office. When he refused, they assaulted him and four of his relatives. Police rescued the victims, and seriously injured Tofazzal was admitted to the local health complex. Later, rumors spread that police had released Awami League supporters, prompting over 100 BNP members, led by their local general secretary, to attack the Khetlal police station and attempt to free detainees. Two police officers were injured. The army intervened, restoring order and detaining three attackers. Investigations are ongoing.
