Former Upazila Chhatra Dal convener and former UP member Jahangir Khan attacked a wedding house in Rajoir, Madaripur, along with a group of fanatical Towhidi people who were playing music on a sound box.

The clash occurred on Friday night.

However, the locals, angered by the attack on the wedding house, resisted the attackers. Shops and two motorcycles were vandalized during the attack. Among the injured, former Rajoir Municipality BNP general secretary Badshah Mir has been sent to Dhaka in critical condition.

Police said that relatives of Shaheed Sheikh of West Rajoir village, Ward No. 5 of Rajoir Municipality were playing songs on the occasion of his daughter’s wedding. After Friday prayers, former Rajoir Upazila Chhatra Dal convener and former UP member Jahangir Khan forbade the playing of songs and abused them. Later in the evening, Jahangir Khan attacked the wedding house with a group of Towhidi people in Rajoir Bazar.

During this time, the general public vandalized Jahangir Khan’s firewood shop and two motorcycles. Upon receiving information, the Rajoir police station reached the spot and brought the situation under control.

Sheikh Aminul Islam, OC of Rajoir Police Station in Madaripur, said the situation is now normal. Police patrols are continuing to control the situation.
