The matter came to the attention of local people on Wednesday (November 11) afternoon. Police went to the scene after receiving the news. However, it has not yet been confirmed who defaced the memorial and for what purpose.

Inspector (Investigation) Ripon Das of Brahmanbaria Sadar Police Station said that after receiving the news of ink being applied to the memorial, police visited the scene. The matter is being investigated to identify the people involved in the incident.

Earlier, on November 25 last year, the same memorial was defaced. As a result, the incident of ink being applied to the memorial again has created concern in the area.

It may be mentioned that in the July 2024 uprising, on July 18, in the Azampur area of Uttara in the capital, during the quota reform movement, Mugdho was distributing drinking water and biscuits among the protesters. A video of his words while distributing water—‘Does anyone need water, water?’—spread on social media and at that time created a huge stir in the movement. That very afternoon, at one stage of distributing water, he was shot and lost his life.

Mir Mugdho was born in Brahmanbaria but grew up in Uttara, Dhaka. After completing secondary and higher secondary at Uttara High School and College, he obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Khulna University. Until his death, he was studying in a Professional MBA at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP).
