A local leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party was killed and three others were injured in a clash between two factions of the party at Banail Bazar in Tarail upazila of Kishoreganj district on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Abul Hasan Ratan, president of Rauti union unit of BNP.
Sohel Mia, officer-in-charge of Tarail Police Station, said BNP formed a new committee through the party’s council on Saturday where Ratan was elected president of the Rauti union unit of BNP.
A heated argument ensued between the supporters of the former president and the followers of Ratan over the issue on that day.
As a sequel, the supporters of both groups engaged in a clash around 11 am at Banail Bazar, leaving three people injured including Ratan.
The injured were taken to Tarail Upazila Health Complex where doctors declared Ratan dead.
A tense situation has been prevailing in the area following the death of the BNP leader, forcing the local administration to deploy additional law enforcers in the area to avert further trouble.
