A concert by popular rock star James has been disrupted in Faridpur after an attack by what organisers described as “outsiders”. “At least 15 to 20 students were injured by the impact of the bricks.

The event was scheduled for 9pm on Friday at the Faridpur District School campus, marking the 185th anniversary of the institution.

Quoting the organising committee, bdneews24.com says the “outsiders” attempted to enter the venue and hurled brickbats in an effort to take over the stage.

They were eventually forced to retreat by the students of the district school.

Around 10pm, organising committee Convenor Mustafizur Rahman Shamim said the concert had been cancelled on the instruction of the Faridpur deputy commissioner.

Rajibul Hasan Khan, head of the anniversary publicity and media subcommittee, said: “We had completed all preparations to make James’ concert a success. But we do not understand why, for what reason, or who carried out the attack.”
