He was severely injured in a clash between two BCL groups in Jashore’s  Keshabpur.

He was the son of Abdul Halim of Baliadanga area and a student of Keshabpur Government Degree College.

According to locals, on May 7, while distributing VGF relief money among the underprivileged and poor, the followers of Keshabpur Upazila Awami League Organizing Secretary Sheikh Ebadat Siddique Bipul and the followers of Youth and Sports Secretary Abul Kalam Azad clashed with each other in Baliadanga cyclone shelter.

Abul Kalam Azad's nephew Sohan was severely injured in the clash and was taken to Keshabpur Upazila Health Complex.

As his condition deteriorated, he was referred to Khulna Medical College Hospital where he died, reports UNB.

On May 9 Sohan's uncle Abul Kalam Azad filed a case at Keshabpur police station accusing seven people.
