Vandalism halts Hanif Sanket’s ‘Ityadi’ filming in Thakurgaon
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 Thursday night.
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.

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