Three people were shot and at least ten others injured during a violent clash between supporters of an independent candidate and those of the BNP’s paddy-sheaf symbol in Mollakandi Union, Munshiganj Sadar upazila, on Saturday noon. The incident occurred in Beherkandi and Munshikandi areas when both groups exchanged gunfire and exploded crude bombs, spreading panic in the locality. The injured, including Lijan Sarkar, Monir Hossain Sarkar, and Fahim Dewan, were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
According to local accounts, the violence erupted when supporters of independent candidate Md. Mohiuddin, represented by the football symbol, went to Munshikandi to campaign and were obstructed by followers of BNP leader and paddy-sheaf candidate Kamruzzaman Ratan. Assistant Returning Officer and UNO Masudur Rahman said army, BGB, and police personnel were patrolling the area and that the situation was now calm. Police officials stated that the two groups had a prior rivalry over local dominance.
Authorities have deployed additional forces and pledged to identify and take action against those involved in the violence.
