The SP further stated that due to Hannan's critical condition, he was taken to the National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital (NIDCH) in Dhaka by helicopter in the afternoon.
"No case has been filed and no arrests have been made yet. Several police teams are actively working to apprehend the culprits," the SP added.
Dr Ehsanul Haque Tonmoy, surgery consultant at Chuadanga Sadar Hospital, said Hannan suffered severe injuries, including a cut to the lung, and required urgent surgery.
Chuadanga Awami League General Secretary Azadul Islam Azad told TBS that they are assuming that such an incident might have taken place due to some political feud.
"The perpetrators should be arrested quickly and brought under the law," he added.
Chuadanga-2 constituency MP Ali Azgar Togar said, "Hannan was previously attacked before the election."
The MP called for uncovering the motive behind the repeated assaults.
