8 injured as rival AL men clash
At least eight people were injured as two groups of local Awami League clashed at bordering Sadipur village in Benapole yesterday.
Villagers said AL activist Abdul Jalil's son Afil prevented a gang of miscreants led by Kabir, a worker of the party, when the gang was trying to violate a daughter of Abdus Sattar of the same village.
Enraged by it, Kabir and his accomplices attacked the house of Afil and looted valuables from it.
When the news spread in the village, Jalil's supporters swooped on Kabir and his men, leading to a clash between the two groups. Eight people from both sides were injured during the clash that continued for an hour.
Following a case filed by Kabir with Benapole Police Station, police arrested three of the nine accused. Kabir rivals were preparing to file a counter case.
