Two years since the Narsingdi Jail attack

On July 19, 2024, during the anti-discrimination student movement, attackers stormed the Narsingdi District Jail using petrol bombs, resulting in the escape of 826 prisoners, including 7 militants, and the theft of 85 firearms and 8,015 rounds of ammunition. Two years later, 170 prisoners and 26 firearms remain unrecovered, continuing to pose a significant security risk to the region.
