Police-BNP clash leaves several injured in Natore
PBC News: Several people, including two journalists, were injured during a clash between police and the BNP men in Natore district on Monday while holding rally as part of countrywide protest programme.
The incident took place at about 11am in front of the party office in Alaipur in the town.
Police, however, detained two protesters from the spot, said Natore Police Station OC Munsur Rahman.
Natore district unit BNP president Sabina Yasmin Chhabi alleged that police prevented them from holding their peaceful pre-scheduled programme demanding the immediate release of ‘critically’ ill Khaleda Zia for better treatment abroad.
They charged baton on the leaders and the activists of the party and fired rubber bullets and tear gas shells that left several BNP men injured, including commissioner Shohag and Alam by bullet, said the district unit BNP convenor committee member Farhad Ali Dewan Shahin.
Two on-duty journalists were also injured.
Superintendent of Natore police Liton Saha said, they barred the activists to stage demonstration on the road. Angered by this, the BNP men threw brickchips to the law enforcers, leaving some policemen injured.
