The man, identified as Babul Mia, 45, was reportedly caught by local residents at around 10pm on Friday (13 November) in the Kawamara area of Pingna Union. The incident sparked considerable discussion and attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.
According to police and local sources, Babul Mia is the son of Shahjahan Mia, a resident of the Kawamara area. He is also a father of four. Allegations have emerged that he had been involved in an extramarital relationship with the wife of Aziz Mia, a local tea seller who lives in the same area.
Sources said Babul allegedly went to the woman’s house secretly on Friday night to meet her. However, local residents became aware of his presence and surrounded the house. They subsequently detained him at the scene.
News of the incident spread quickly throughout the neighbourhood, drawing a growing number of people to the area. The situation created considerable commotion, prompting residents to inform the police.
A team from the Tarakandi Police Investigation Centre arrived shortly afterwards and intervened to bring the situation under control. Police personnel then rescued Babul from the crowd and took him into their custody.
Confirming the incident, Monirul Islam, officer-in-charge of the Tarakandi Police Investigation Centre, said police had reached the location after receiving information about the incident.
He said the detained man was taken to a hospital for initial medical treatment before being transferred to the police station.
Babul Mia remained in police custody at the time this report was prepared.
The incident has generated discussion among residents of the area, particularly because of the allegations involving a married woman and a local political activist. However, the claims surrounding the alleged relationship have yet to be independently established.
The immediate police intervention prevented the situation from escalating further. Any further legal action will depend on the circumstances of the incident and the findings of the relevant authorities.
