—Md. Kamal Uddin
The recent incident in the Nazir Bari and Osmaner Mor area under Chandgaon Police Station in Chattogram, which has gone viral on social media and stirred widespread public reaction, is far more than the limited reality captured in a short video. Rather, it reflects a complex and multi-layered social conflict. A few seconds of footage, paired with sensational captions, quickly framed the event as one of “extortion.” Yet, as is often the case, the truth is deeper and far more nuanced.
Amid this complexity, Officer-in-Charge (OC) Nur Hossain Mamun of Chandgaon Police Station emerges as a figure of professionalism, courage, and responsibility. Instead of relying on surface-level interpretations, he has taken firm and deliberate steps to uncover the underlying truth.
Immediately after the incident, acting under the direct instructions of Police Commissioner Shawkat Ali, OC Nur Hossain Mamun moved swiftly and effectively. He prioritized objective analysis over emotionally driven narratives circulating online. By visiting the scene, collecting eyewitness accounts, and questioning those involved, he initiated a well-structured and thorough investigation.
According to available information, the conflict stemmed from a long-standing dispute between Engineer S.M. Badruddoza Hridoy, owner of “G Dot Tech Solution,” and a man named Md. Didar over the parking of motorcycles in front of the office. This tension escalated into violence on April 18, 2026. Initially, Didar was reportedly assaulted. However, the situation did not end there—he later returned with several others and launched a counterattack, leading to a full-scale clash between both sides.
The viral video circulating online captured only a fragment of this event, obscuring its broader context. This is where OC Nur Hossain Mamun’s professionalism becomes particularly evident. He stated clearly, “We are not making decisions based on videos or rumors. Our goal is to uncover the truth through a comprehensive investigation.”
Such a stance is not only a reflection of his sense of duty but also sets a standard for law enforcement in an era where misinformation spreads rapidly. In a time when social media can easily distort facts, restoring public trust and uncovering the truth becomes an immense challenge.
OC Nur Hossain Mamun has embraced this challenge with determination and discernment. He has firmly declared, “No one will be allowed to take the law into their own hands.” This statement embodies both firmness and a commitment to justice.
Under his leadership, a case has already been filed, interrogations are ongoing, and every aspect of the incident is being carefully examined. At the same time, he has urged the public not to be misled by partial videos or one-sided narratives and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
In today’s reality—where misinformation often travels faster than truth—the role of a responsible and principled officer like Nur Hossain Mamun is truly commendable. He is not merely investigating a single incident; he is taking a stand against a broader social challenge.
The Chandgaon incident once again reminds us that the issue is not only crime itself, but also how it is presented, interpreted, and reacted to. Addressing such challenges requires honest, courageous, and professional leadership—qualities that OC Nur Hossain Mamun exemplifies.
Where this case ultimately leads remains to be seen. However, one thing is already clear: truth cannot be suppressed when there are individuals firmly committed to uncovering it.
