In a dramatic turn of events, Syed SM Millat Hossain, the acting principal of Bogura Homeopathic Medical College, was allegedly dragged out of his private chamber, physically assaulted, and then handed over to the police by activists of the National Citizens’ Party (NCP) on Monday night.

The incident occurred around 8 PM at the Yakubia Girls’ High School Market in Bogura city, where SM Millat had been attending to patients in his private chamber.

👨‍⚕️ Who is SM Millat Hossain?

🚨 How It Unfolded:

According to local eyewitnesses, around 15 to 20 NCP members, led by Abdullah Al Sani (Central Organiser of the NCP Workers’ Wing), entered Millat’s chamber and forcibly took him outside.

He was then dragged through Shahid Abdul Jabbar Road, Kalibari Mor, and Pouroshava Lane while being intermittently beaten along the way. He was eventually handed over to the District Detective Branch (DB) Office, located near the office of the Police Superintendent.

The attackers also allegedly chanted slogans against the ruling Awami League during the incident.

A video of the assault quickly spread on Facebook, igniting public debate and concern.

📹 Viral Video: What Was Said

In one circulating video, Abdullah Al Sani is heard saying:

“I gave him a final warning six months ago. He thought I was weak. I’m not a man of many words — I speak once and that’s enough. We’ve caught him at the right time. He’s been beating up my nephew and others for 20–25 years. There’ll be no room for Dilip Roy’s syndicate in the homeopathic council. We’re coming. Hasnat was also attacked.”

🔍 Allegations Made by NCP

In an interview with Prothom Alo, Abdullah Al Sani made a string of serious allegations:

• Millat allegedly tortured student leaders of BNP’s student wing (Chhatra Dal) and Islami Chhatra Shibir over the last 15 years.
• He reportedly engaged in recruitment corruption, taking bribes in exchange for job promises he failed to deliver.
• Many victims filed complaints in 2022, but no action was taken due to AL’s grip on power at the time.
• Post 5 August, Millat began spreading propaganda on Facebook and was allegedly aiding the banned Chhatra League both financially and logistically.
• NCP demanded that Millat return the bribes and cease such activities, which he reportedly ignored.

Sani further claimed that Millat had “forcefully grabbed the principal’s post” and held onto it using intimidation.

🗣️ Public Reaction

The incident has raised serious questions about political vigilantism, law enforcement, and the erosion of institutional discipline. Many are questioning:

• Why was an alleged crime handled through mob justice?
• Why didn’t victims approach the court?
• Is this a sign of rising political retaliation culture?

What happened in Bogura is more than just a political scuffle. It’s a window into the deepening culture of political score-settling outside the bounds of law. If institutions meant to uphold justice are bypassed by mob action, rule of law itself comes under threat.
