A teenager has been killed in an hour-long clash in Brahmanbaria’s Sarail.
Locals alleged that the clash broke out between the two sides over an attempt to obstruct a “drug sale”. At least 15 people were injured in the incident.
The clash took place in Syedtula Uttarpara village of the Upazila in the wee hours of Saturday morning, said Sarail Police Station chief Manjur Quader Bhuiyan.
The deceased Md Raihan, 15, hailed from the Uttarpara area.
Police official Manjur said that around 10pm on Friday, a youth named Sujan Mia of the Uttarpara area gave another youth Tk 300 to buy yaba.
But the youth used the money to buy biscuits and ate them. This led to a scuffle and fight between the two.
Kamal, Jasim, Dewan Uddin – locals who oppose drugs in the area – then confronted Sujan about the drug trade. Two other youths from the area then took Sujan's side.
Manjur said that at one point, around 12:30am, people from both sides clashed with local weapons. The hour-long clash, lit by torchlights in the darkness of the night, spread panic throughout the village.
At least 15 people were injured during the clash. Among them, the seriously injured Raihan was rescued and taken to the Sarail Upazila Health Complex, where the doctor declared him dead.
Manjur also said that after the situation was reported, the police went to restore order. The body of the deceased was recovered and sent to the Brahmanbaria District Sadar Hospital for a post-mortem.
bdnews24.com was unable to get a statement from Sujan on the incident.
No case has been filed yet, but the necessary legal measures are being processed, said Manjur.
