Jubo League, BCL gunfight hurts 10

At least 10 people, including four with bullet wounds, were injured in a gunfight between BCL and Jubo League over sand trading at Dhakeshwari Bhuiyanpara in the city yesterday.
The four bullet-hit injured -- Khokon Mollah, Mohammad Ali, Monir and Kamal -- were admitted to a local hospital.
Locals said Amir Hossain and Selim alias Tunda Selim, leaders of Narayanganj's Bangladesh Chhatra League unit, had previous enmity with Jubo League leaders -- Mohsin Mia and Nasir -- regarding sand trading.
Ruhul Amin Mollah, councillor of ward no-8, was conducting a conciliatory meeting with members of the two groups at his office in Godanail Bhuigargh area. While the meeting was in progress, unruly opposition activists attacked Mohsin's house, which brought the meeting to a halt.
Later, activists of both groups armed with guns and revolvers clashed leaving the 10 injured, which included the councillor's younger brother, Khokon Mollah.
Locals rescued the injured and rushed them to the hospital.
Meanwhile, protesting firing on the ward councillor, locals barricaded the Narayanganj-Adamzi-Demra road for an hour.
