A violent attack in Mashalia village of Sreepur upazila, Magura, resulted in vandalism and looting at around 20 houses on Saturday morning. Police confirmed that one person has been detained in connection with the incident.

According to local sources, the attack stemmed from a long-standing dispute over local dominance between residents Abdur Rashid and Akbar Mondal. Following Akbar Mondal’s death in a previous attack on Monday, his opponents reportedly went into hiding. On Saturday, Akbar Mondal’s son Hasan Ali allegedly led a group that carried out the vandalism and looting.

Sreepur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md. Oli Mia stated that the situation is now under control, with additional police deployed in the area to maintain order.
