A violent clash between activists of the BNP and Jamaat occurred in Taherpur village of Begumganj upazila, Noakhali, on the night of April 27, 2026. The incident, reportedly triggered by previous political disputes, left at least eight people injured, including a Jubo Dal activist named Shakil Mahmud, who sustained a gunshot wound. The confrontation took place around 9:30 p.m. following tensions that began earlier in the day at a rally of the newly formed Krishak Dal.

Police and local sources said the conflict stemmed from an earlier altercation between two BNP supporters, which escalated when rival groups gathered in the evening. BNP’s former vice president of the local unit, Md. Alauddin, alleged that Jamaat-linked individuals attacked him, while others claimed the shooting resulted from a misfire by BNP members. Jamaat’s district secretary, Borhan Uddin, denied his party’s involvement, asserting it was an internal BNP dispute.

Begumganj police confirmed visiting the scene and stated that legal action would follow upon receiving a written complaint.
