In a video report by Nagorik TV, senior journalist Jamal Ahmed detailed a targeted physical assault and robbery carried out against him and his colleague in Kashimpur. According to Ahmed and his associate, a group of 10 to 15 armed individuals ambushed them near the Polash Housing record office with iron rods and sticks following investigative work in the area. The assailants repeatedly beat Ahmed, tore his clothing, and forcibly snatched two mobile phones, a camera, micro-booms, wireless microphones, and essential news documentation from the scene before escaping. Ahmed expressed frustration over law enforcement delays, noting that police arrived over an hour after calling emergency services, and demanded a fair investigation using available CCTV footage to hold the perpetrators accountable.
