According to the case statement, on October 22, 2022, Ziko was injured in an attack allegedly by Awami League activists on the Bhairab River while BNP activists from Phultala Upazila heading to a trawler to attend the part’s divisional mass rally in Khulna.

The injured BNP activists, including Ziko, for treatment went to the Fulthala Upazila Health Complex, where AL activists carried out attacks, forcing them to leave the health complex.
