A BNP activist was reportedly injured in an attack allegedly carried out by Awami League supporters in Burirdanga Union’s Ward No. 3 of Mongla upazila, Bagerhat. The incident occurred around 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, in the Chalabunia area. The injured man, identified as 47-year-old Monoj Shil, is currently receiving treatment at Mongla Upazila Health Complex, confirmed Officer-in-Charge Shahinur Rahman Shahin.

According to local sources, residents rushed to the scene after hearing screams and found Monoj Shil lying on the ground, bleeding. He alleged that Awami League ward general secretary Robi Roy and two or three associates attacked him while attempting to seize his 10-katha fish enclosure. Monoj claimed he was beaten when he tried to resist and that his family was later threatened. He said the assault was revenge for an earlier incident on the 5th.

Awami League leader Robi Roy denied the allegations, saying he was injured while trying to stop the fight. Police stated that legal action would follow upon receiving a written complaint.
