10 hurt in BNP activists' fraternal clash in Jhenaidah
At least 10 individuals were injured in a clash between two BNP factions over establishing dominance in Shailkupa upazila of Jhenaidah on Monday morning (January 19, 2026).
The incident took place at Bishnudia village under Manoharpur union.
Police and local sources said supporters of district Jubo Dal joint general secretary Zahid Chowdhury and Shailkupa upazila Jubo Dal member secretary Abul Bashar Sadat had long been locked in a dispute over social dominance in the area.
Tension intensified two days ago when supporters of the two leaders got into an altercation over demarcating the boundary of mosque land in Bishnudia village.
Following the dispute, activists from both sides clashed with locally made weapons on Monday morning, leaving at least 10 people injured. One of the injured is in critical condition.
Officer-in-Charge of Shailkupa Police Station Humayun Kabir Molla said police rushed to the spot after being informed and brought the situation under control.
Additional police have been deployed in the area as tension continues to prevail, reports UNB.
