At least seven people were injured in a clash between activists of the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami in Lalmohan upazila of Bhola-3 constituency on Friday morning. The incident occurred around 11 a.m. in Ward No. 11 of Lalmohan municipality, reportedly over election campaign activities. Police and naval personnel arrived at the scene and brought the situation under control.

According to eyewitnesses, an argument between the two groups over campaign activities escalated into a violent confrontation. Lalmohan BNP’s general secretary, Shafiqul Islam Babul, alleged that Jamaat activists led by Mokhles Bokshi, a recently joined former president of the upazila Krishak League, attacked BNP workers during a campaign event, injuring four of them. Jamaat leaders, however, denied the allegation, claiming that BNP supporters initiated the attack.

Lalmohan police officer-in-charge Md. Oliul Islam stated that law enforcement responded promptly and controlled the situation. No formal complaint had been filed as of the report’s publication, but authorities said legal action would follow if a complaint is submitted.
