Bangladesh Unrest: Mob Attacks Nagar Baul James Concert In Faridpur, Singer Forced To Leave Venue

Bangladesh's popular band icon James (Nagar Baul), scheduled on the closing day of the 185th anniversary celebrations of Faridpur Zilla School, was disrupted and ultimately cancelled following an attack.

At least 25 people were injured in the incident. The concert was due to begin at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday (December 26, 2025) night on the school premises.

Just before James was to take the stage, a group of outsiders attempted to force their way into the venue. When they were denied entry, they began pelting bricks and stones and tried to seize control of the stage.
