A concert by popular Bangladeshi rock musician James was cancelled in Faridpur after a mob attacked the venue, injuring at least 25 people, including students. The incident occurred when a group of outsiders, denied entry to the school anniversary event, hurled stones and bricks, attempting to seize the stage. Students resisted the attackers, but authorities ultimately cancelled the show due to safety concerns. The attack has drawn condemnation and highlighted broader worries about intolerance towards cultural expression in Bangladesh.
