Saikat Guha Piklu, the National Awardee Mahilara Union Parishad Chairman and Upazila Awami League Joint General Secretary of Gournadi Upazila of Barisal, was shot and seriously injured. Relatives of the injured and witnesses of the incident complained that after Thursday evening UP Chairman Saikat Guha and his supporters went to the upazila chairman candidate Monir Hossain Mia in Batajor market.
At that time, another chairman candidate who was already there, Dilu Howladar, former mayor of Gournadi municipality, Dilu Howladar, President of Mahilara Union Jubo League, Russel Radhi, and more than half a hundred terrorists attacked and blocked the UP chairman. Later, upazila chairman candidate Harichur Rahman himself appeared there and shot at UP chairman Piklu in the second round and ordered his terrorist forces to kill Piklu. Soon after Hariche's order, his terrorist forces besieged Piklu by indiscriminately hacking and wounding.
Meanwhile, the motorcycle driver of the UP Chairman, Palash Hawladar, was severely cut and injured. At one point, the local people and the relatives of the family rescued them in a state of stupor and took them to the Upazila Hospital. When UP Chairman brother Salil Guh Pintu, mother Taapsee Rani Guh and wife Bipasa Guh went to visit him at the hospital after receiving the news of the attack, Harish's cadres attacked them and looted their mobile money. The relatives complained and said that the cadres of the Harish army did not stop only by attacking and blocking.
They stopped the hospital's ambulance service so that the injured could not be taken anywhere. Even outside ambulances were not allowed in or out. Later, Upazila Chairman Syeda Monirun Nahar Meri and policemen reached the hospital and rescued the injured and sent them to Barisal Sherai Bangla Medical College Hospital. However, upazila chairman candidate Harichur Rahman denied the attack. Gournadi Model Police Station OC (Investigation) Md. Mazharul Islam said that no one has filed a written complaint in this regard so far. Additional police have been deployed to keep the situation calm.
