At least 102 individuals have been detained by law enforcement in connection with a violent attack on a police officer in the Sunibir Housing area of Adabor, Dhaka. The assault, carried out by members of the notorious ‘Kobji Kata’ teen gang, left Constable Al-Amin seriously injured.

The attack occurred around 11:00 PM on Monday when police conducted a raid at a garage in Sunibir Housing. Local residents reported that Johnny and Rony, identified as the masterminds of the ‘Kobji Kata’ gang operating in the Mohammadpur-Adabor area, led the assault using locally made weapons.
