At least 35 people were injured in a series of post-election clashes, vandalism, and counterattacks across Bagerhat district from Thursday night, February 12, to Friday night, February 13. Police detained two individuals following reports of attacks and property damage in Sadar, Morrelganj, and Sharankhola upazilas, where around 20 houses were reportedly vandalized. Joint security forces intervened to restore order.
The violence reportedly stemmed from tensions between local activists of the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, who exchanged accusations over the incidents. In Bishnupur Union’s Mandra village, several Jamaat members’ homes were attacked, allegedly by a group led by a local BNP leader. In retaliation, houses of BNP activists were vandalized the following morning. Both parties denied responsibility and called for calm.
Bagerhat police superintendent Md Hasan Chowdhury said law enforcement remains active under a zero-tolerance policy toward violence and that operations are ongoing to identify and arrest those involved.
