Neutral summary
Three people were injured in an attack by a big cat that reportedly crossed from India into Bangladesh near the Amjhol border area in Hatibandha upazila, Lalmonirhat, on Sunday afternoon or evening. The injured are Sharifa Begum, 32 (or 30 per some reports), Afsar Uddin/Hossain, 40 or 42, and Nazrul Islam, 45 (per Daily Star). Sharifa was attacked while looking for her goat in a paddy field; the two men were hurt when they went to help her. Locals rescued them and took them to Hatibandha Upazila Health Complex before transfer to Rangpur Medical College Hospital. Lt Col Mehedi Imam, commander of the 15 BGB Battalion, said the animal was believed to be a leopard, per Daily Star, or a tiger, per other outlets, and that the forest department had been informed and security strengthened. The animal was reported to be hiding in a paddy field surrounded by residents, BGB and police. Gotamari union chairman Monabberul Haque Mona said forest officials were on their way.
Where accounts differ. The Daily Star describes the animal as a leopard while Amar Desh, The Financial Express, UNB and Daily Naya Diganta describe it as a tiger, and only The Daily Star reports the animal was hiding in a paddy field surrounded by villagers and security forces at the time of reporting.

the leopard, which had been lying in wait nearby, suddenly attacked her
Narrative detail about the animal's behaviour is attributed to BGB and local sources, so this is minor and not a bias concern.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
