At least 50 people were injured on Monday in a violent clash between two rival groups over the position of chairman of Baroiuri Union Parishad in Baniachong upazila of Habiganj district. The confrontation began around noon in the union parishad compound and continued for nearly two hours before police intervened.
According to police and local sources, the conflict stemmed from a leadership dispute between suspended Awami League–backed chairman Farid Ahmad and acting chairman Mizanur Rahman Kopil, who is also the vice president of the UP Jubo Dal. Farid Ahmad had been arrested earlier during an operation and was replaced by Kopil. After his release on bail, Farid attempted to resume his duties, which Kopil opposed. The long-standing tension erupted during a government relief distribution event attended by both men, leading supporters from several villages to engage in armed clashes.
Police used tear gas to disperse the groups and brought the situation under control after two hours. Additional police have been deployed to prevent further unrest, and authorities report that the situation is now stable.
