At least eight people, including a woman, were injured in a clash between Awami League and BNP supporters in Nawarkandi, Nawabganj, reportedly stemming from a longstanding political rivalry.
According to injured local resident Md. Jafar, Awami League loyalists had filed a false case a month ago, leading to the arrest of his father and brother. After they were released on bail and returned home on Sunday, one of them went out for a haircut when a group of 15-20 Awami League supporters launched a sudden attack with sharp weapons.
