Villagers’ clash leaves 25 hurt
At least 25 people were injured in a clash between two groups of villagers in Bhanga upazila yesterday.
Quoting the villagers, police said there had been a longstanding rivalry between one Asad Matbor and Delwar Matbor of Singariya village over establishing supremacy of the locality.
On Sunday evening, supporters of both the groups locked in an altercation over the issue.
As a sequel to the Sunday's altercation, men of both the groups, equipped with sticks and sharp weapons, swooped on each other around 8:00am yesterday.
The two hour long clash left at least 25 people from both sides injured.
On information, police went to the spot and brought the situation under control.
Sub-Inspector of Bhanga Police Station Tuhin Hawladar said they raided the village and detained five people from both sides in connection with the clash.
Hamirdi Union Parishad (UP) Chairman Shamsul Alam said the clash took place due to personal enmity, not political.
