Hanif Sanket's 'Ityadi' filming cancelled following vandalism in Thakurgaon

TBT REPORT: Filming for the extremely popular BTV programme Ityadi, hosted by Hanif Sanket, was cancelled due to a violent altercation and vandalism in Thakurgaon district on 9 January.

An episode of Ityadi was being filmed at the historic Raja Tongkanath Palace in Ranisankail upazila when chaos ensued after a crowd of over 100,000 people gathered for the event, far exceeding the 4,000 entrance passes that had been distributed.

Arshedul Haque, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ranisankail Police Station, said that no major injuries were reported, though a group of youths were responsible for throwing chairs during the disturbance.

According to locals, as tensions flared over seating arrangements, a fight broke out, leading to the destruction of property and the vandalism of equipment.

Despite repeated attempts by the organisers to control the situation, the unrest escalated, forcing the authorities to halt the filming before its scheduled conclusion.

Expressing disappointment, Hanif Sanket said, Despite trying hard, I could not calm you down. I wanted to organise a beautiful event for you, but that was no longer possible. I could not, I failed.

Following the cancellation, the audiences were escorted out of the venue, and some parts of the programme were filmed later in the night.

However, many attendees, some of whom had travelled long distances, were unable to fully enjoy the experience due to the early termination of the event.

Audience member Anwar Hossain said, I had an entrance pass, but still couldnt get in. This was due to the mismanagement by the authorities.

Sohel Rana said, Additional visitors were anticipated, but the authorities failed to make proper security arrangements. This was their mistake. Moreover, holding such a programme in such a small space is not feasible.

Masud Alam pointed out, There has been a lack of discipline from the start, which was also due to mismanagement by the authorities.
