At least 30 people were injured in a clash between BNP and Jubo Dal activists during an election rally in Austagram upazila of Kishoreganj on Friday evening. The incident occurred in front of Bhatsala village under Kastul Union, reportedly over a dispute about seating arrangements at the rally. The event was organized for BNP-nominated candidate Advocate Fazlur Rahman, who could not attend due to illness.
According to local sources, the conflict began when a procession led by Kastul Union Jubo Dal general secretary Mahbub Alam Kismat arrived at the rally venue. An argument broke out between his supporters and those of Ward No. 2 BNP president Sadeq Mia over chairs, escalating into a violent confrontation. Kismat claimed that Sadeq Mia’s group attacked them, injuring about 20 people, while Sadeq Mia countered that Kismat’s supporters initiated the attack, injuring 8–10 of his men.
Austagram police officer-in-charge Soeb Khan said the situation is now under control, though the exact number of casualties has not been confirmed. Authorities will take legal action upon receiving formal complaints.
