At least ten people were injured on Monday evening in a violent clash between activists of the district unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (BNP’s student wing) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Shariatpur town. The confrontation occurred at the Chowrangi intersection following an argument over a motorcycle passing through an NCP protest march demanding justice for a local killing. Witnesses reported chase-and-counter-chase incidents and the explosion of crude bombs during the altercation. Police and hospital sources confirmed that the injured, including several local leaders from both groups, were treated at Shariatpur Sadar Hospital, while one was transferred to Dhaka for advanced care. Leaders from both sides blamed each other for initiating the violence. District police stated that the situation was brought under control shortly after their intervention and that the area is now calm. Authorities have increased patrols in the town to prevent further unrest, while local political observers warned that recurring street confrontations between rival political groups could escalate ahead of upcoming national political activities.
