Violent clashes erupted in Jagannathpur area of Durlabhpur Union under Shibganj upazila, Chapainawabganj, following the announcement of local election results. The incidents occurred on Thursday evening and Friday morning, involving attacks, vandalism, and arson at two houses. At least three to four people were injured in the two rounds of violence, which stemmed from disputes between supporters of the BNP and Jamaat over vote counts.

According to local sources, the BNP had traditionally received more votes in the Jagannathpur and Piyalimari polling centers. In the latest election, BNP secured about 1,400 votes while Jamaat received around 1,000. Tensions flared after Jamaat supporters celebrated their results, prompting allegations that some BNP activists threw stones, leading to clashes. Police and administration intervened to restore order, but renewed violence broke out the next morning, targeting the homes of Babar Ali and his cousin Sadikul Islam.

Police reported that dissatisfaction over narrow vote margins triggered the attacks. Law enforcement and Border Guard Bangladesh have been deployed under an executive magistrate’s supervision, and the situation is now under control.
