Munshiganj: Two siblings were killed and at least 10 people injured in a clash between two groups of villagers over establishing supremacy at Char Bolaki in Gazaria upazila on Thursday evening.

The identities of the deceased could not be ascertained immediately.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) of the district M Saiful Hasan said two groups of villagers—one led by Abdul Matin, ex-chairman of Hosendi Union Parishad, and the other by Nazmul Hossain—had long been at loggerheads over establishing dominance in the area.

On Thursday evening, the supporters of the two groups locked into a clash over previous rivalry.

A chase and counter-chase took place during the melee when both sides also traded gunfire, leaving 12 people, including the two brothers, injured.

Five of the injured were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in the capital while the five others to Munshiganj General Hospital.

Meanwhile, police detained the five injured from the Munshiganj General Hospital.
