Two rival groups clashed in Alamsree village of Nayekpur Union in Madan, Netrokona on Monday evening, leaving at least 18 people injured, including several women. Among them, five are in critical condition and currently undergoing treatment at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. Locals said the conflict erupted over allegations of theft. Reportedly, around Tk 6,000 was stolen from the general store of a resident named Sohel Mia. Accusations were made against Kayyum Mia, son of Salem Uddin from the same village. Although Salem admitted his son’s involvement and offered Tk 2,000 as compensation along with an apology, Sohel rejected the offer, leading to the violent clash.
