An LP gas trader was critically injured after a group of unidentified attackers stormed his shop at Dighlia Bazaar in Narail’s Lohagara upazila on Monday (August 3).
The victim Jamal Molya 38 is currently undergoing treatment at Pangu Hospital (National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation) in Dhaka. Originally from Boyra village in the Lakshmipasha union Jamal currently resides in Batikabari.
According to witnesses and family members Jamal was working in his shop around 5:00 PM when the assailants suddenly entered. They indiscriminately hacked him with sharp, locally made weapons before fleeing the scene.
Locals rushed the heavily bleeding victim to the Lohagara Upazila Health Complex. Due to the critical nature of his injuries the on-duty doctors immediately transferred him to Dhaka for advanced care.
