Thirty people were injured in a clash between two factions of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Saltha upazila of Faridpur on Friday night. The violence erupted in Balia Bazar and nearby areas of Gatti Union following a long-standing rivalry between groups led by Zahid Matubbar and Nuru Matubbar. The incident began when supporters of Nuru Matubbar allegedly assaulted Zahid Matubbar’s supporter Arif Matubbar while he was returning from a feast.
The attack quickly escalated into a large-scale confrontation that lasted from evening until midnight. Both sides reportedly used local weapons, resulting in the vandalism of 20 to 25 houses and the burning of one home. Three cows belonging to Zahid Matubbar’s supporter Abul Sheikh were allegedly looted. Several of the injured were admitted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital, while others received primary treatment.
Saltha Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Babulur Rahman Khan said police intervened to control the situation and that the area is now calm. Additional police have been deployed, and an investigation is underway.
