At least 15 people were injured in a clash between two factions of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Magura municipality on Wednesday evening. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. in the Shibrampur and Bhatikadanga areas, reportedly over the distribution of government-allocated rice ahead of Eid. Police detained three individuals for questioning following the violence.
According to local sources, the dispute began between Ward No. 8 BNP president Tarikul Sheikh and local BNP leader Abu Mia over the rice distribution process. Their supporters engaged in a chase and counter-chase that escalated into a violent confrontation. Several injured individuals were admitted to Magura 250-bed hospital for treatment, and the office of the ward president was reportedly vandalized during the incident.
Additional police have been deployed in the area to maintain order, and authorities reported that the situation is now under control, though tension remains high in the locality.
