At least 10 people were injured in a violent clash between two rival groups seeking to establish territorial dominance in Nagarkanda Upazila of Faridpur on Saturday afternoon.
The incident took place at approximately 4:30 pm in Goaldi village of Purapara Union, involving the Molla Group and the Talukdar Group.
According to police and local sources, a long-standing dispute existed between the Molla Group of Banagram and the Talukdar Group of neighbouring Goaldi village.
The Molla Group is reportedly led by Mashiur Molla, Nayan Molla, and Ziar Molla, while the rival faction is headed by Soleman and Rabi Talukdar.
