A Jubo Dal activist has been killed in a clash with Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) in Shahparan’s Bahubal area in Sylhet.

The incident occurred around 10 pm on Monday, said Mohammad Saiful Islam, additional deputy commissioner (media) of Sylhet Metropolitan Police.

The deceased has been identified as Bilal Ahmed Munshi, 35, a painter by profession, and a Jubo Dal activist, reports bdnews24.com.

According to witnesses, the clash stemmed from a dispute between local leaders and activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Jubo Dal, over territorial dominance in the area.

Saiful said, “There had been a dispute between the two parties in that area for several days. A mediation meeting was held on Monday evening, but the parties could not resolve the issue. Later, the two parties clashed again. Bilal was severely injured in the incident.”

He was later rescued and taken to the emergency department of the Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival, he added.
