Kishoreganj: At least three persons were injured during a clash between supporters of Awami League and BNP’s mayoral candidates at Bajitpur municipality in Kishoreganj on Tuesday night.

Local people caught two persons while carrying guns and handed them over to the police during the clash.

A witness said BNP candidate’s canvassers rushed to the polling centre set up at Bangabandhu Government Primay School at Nitarkandi at about 9:00am after they heard that AL activists were casting ballots on the eve of polls scheduled for 30 December.

When the two groups reached the polling station, they started fighting each other. Khalil, Zalil and Abul were critically wounded at the clash.  

Bajitpur police officer-in-charge Mostafizur Rahman claimed that the news of casting ballots was just a rumour. Awami League activists went to the centre, but they did not cast ballots, said the police chief.
