The family of BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed has alleged that he has been attacked in the Dhaka-4 constituency on the day of polling.
But the police say that the incident is ‘staged.’
His son Robin alleged that Salahuddin came under attack when he went to Shyampur Government Model School and College, an election centre, in the morning to vote. He was admitted to Apollo Hospital after the incident.
“About 16 people were injured in the attack. My father was stabbed in the back and stomach. The doctors are saying that they are unable to stop the blood flow. The situation is alarming,” Robin told bdnews24.com by phone.
When contacted, Apollo hospital’s duty manager said that the on-duty doctors were taking care of him.
“He walked into the hospital. He is behaving consciously. His injures do not seem too serious,” said the duty manager. — bdnews24.com
