A clash broke out between two groups of the BNP in Sreepur, Magura district, over dominance, resulting in at least 30 people being injured. The confrontation also led to widespread damage and looting at around 20 homes. The situation was later brought under control by the police.
The incident occurred around 8:30 am on Friday in Kodla village, Amalsar Union, under Sreepur upazila.
According to Sreepur Police and locals, the conflict has been brewing for a long time. Since the fall of the Awami League government, two groups led by BNP leaders have been vying for social dominance in the village.
The clash started when Yakub Ali Biswas's supporter Mohammad Kamrul Islam, went to deliver food to the Imam of Kodla Westpara Mosque. He was confronted by Turaf Ali's supporter, Rabiul Islam, leading to a verbal argument. When Kamrul Islam was attacked, he fled, informing his supporters. Both groups then engaged in a violent confrontation using local weapons.
Rezaul Idris Ali Chowdhury, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Sreepur Police Station, said that 20 injured individuals are receiving treatment at local hospitals. Police have deployed additional forces, and the situation is now under control. Two cases have been filed.
