According to local sources, on Saturday, a few youth unitedly went to Ambagan area in Shohel’s word to threat Nahid. Later, when the youths of the area tried to chase Sohail, police made them run away in different direction.

Mohammad Mohsin, Officer-in-Charge of the Kotwali police station in the city, said, “The gang members of the gangs are involved in crimes committed by opening groups through social media, including Facebook and Twitter.
It is usually seen that, if they get into any conflict at school, they inform other members of the gang press release through the groups. They then assemble or attack one another after school holidays. In any event, from love to triviality, they are getting involved in a deadly conflict.
