A violent clash erupted between two rival groups in Meghna upazila of Cumilla on Monday afternoon, reportedly over political rivalry and longstanding enmity. The confrontation took place in Maisharchar village under Chalivanga Union, where both sides used local weapons, including spears. During the violence, a duplex house belonging to one faction was allegedly set on fire, leaving at least four people injured.
According to police and local sources, the conflict involved the BNP-aligned Salam group and the Awami League–aligned Monowar Member group, who have been engaged in disputes and legal battles over local dominance. The situation escalated following a minor altercation on Saturday, culminating in Monday’s large-scale clash. Police arrived at the scene to bring the situation under control.
Local officials confirmed that the fire caused significant damage and spread panic in the area. Injured individuals were taken to nearby hospitals, though most identities remain unknown. Authorities stated that legal action will follow if formal complaints are filed.
