A completely unprovoked and premeditated sudden attack was carried out on members of Hezbut Tawheed in the capital’s Moghbazar area. The incident took place on Friday evening (2 January 2026) beside the railway line in Peyarabagh, resulting in at least 8–10 members of the organization being injured. Among them, five sustained serious injuries.

The injured include Motijheel Branch President of Hezbut Tawheed, Jahangir Alam, and members Sajib Khan and Yasin, who are currently receiving treatment in critical condition at Mugda Medical College Hospital. The other seriously injured persons are Khan Rashed, Moazzem Hossain, Mahbub Hossain, and Mahbubur Rahman. During the attack, the assailants snatched a projector, sound system, mobile phones, and cash amounting to 50,000 taka.

Eyewitnesses and representatives of the organization reported that in the evening, a few members of Hezbut Tawheed were displaying a speech by the organization’s Imam, Hossain Mohammad Selim, in the Peyarabagh area. At that time, around 10–12 ordinary people were present. Suddenly, teacher Noman from Al-Hikmah Islami Madrasa, madrasa student Chayan, and several other religion-business-oriented mullahs incited a mob. Subsequently, a group of fanatics armed with sticks and local weapons launched a surprise attack.

Hezbut Tawheed has stated that the organization is a peace-loving entity that conducts lawful activities. Such barbaric attacks on freedom of expression and peaceful propagation efforts constitute a gross violation of human rights. Through this attack, a deliberate attempt has been made to create fear and obstruct the organization’s propagation activities.

In this situation, Hezbut Tawheed urges the relevant authorities in the capital and the law enforcement agencies to immediately conduct a proper investigation into the incident, identify the attackers and instigators, arrest them promptly, and ensure exemplary punishment.
