A violent clash erupted between two rival groups in Brahmanbaria’s Kandipara area on Thursday evening, leaving three people injured by gunfire. The confrontation reportedly stemmed from an ongoing dispute over local dominance between the groups led by Lion Shakil and Delwar Hossain Dilip, the district convenor of the Swechchhasebak Dal. According to police, members of Shakil’s group opened fire on Dilip’s supporters, injuring Nazmul Ahmed Tutul (36), Shihab (30), and Saju Mia. Locals rescued the wounded and took them to Brahmanbaria General Hospital, where two of them are receiving treatment for rubber bullet injuries. Officer-in-Charge Md Azharul Islam said the police are investigating whether other factors contributed to the conflict and have pledged to bring those responsible to justice. The incident has heightened tension in the area, prompting increased police presence to prevent further violence.
