BNP men clash with cops over mayor's arrest

Our Correspondent, Tangail
At least 50 people including eight policemen were injured in a clash between BNP supporters and police at Madhupur upazila in Tangail yesterday.
The clash ensued when Sarkar Shahid, mayor of Madhupur municipality and general secretary of the upazila unit BNP, was arrested in a case filed by a councillor of the munici
FROM PAGE 20 pality.
The supporters of the mayor blocked the roads from Madhupur to Tangail, Jamalpur and Mymensingh and damaged over 100 vehicles, including that of the upazila nirbahi officer in protest at the arrest.
Vehicular movement remained suspended for two hours, local sources said. Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas shells to disperse the protesters.
Seven protesters with rubber bullet injuries and four constables received first aid at the upazila health complex, said Dr Nurul Huda, upazila health officer in Madhupur.
Supporters of Fakir Mahbub Anam Swapan, an MP aspirant who assists Shahid, vandalised the billboards of another MP aspirant from BNP at Madhupur bus station on Wednesday night.
This led to a skirmish between the two BNP
factions led by Swapan and Bhuiyan Mahbub Abdul Latif, the other MP aspirant.
Latifs brother Amzad Hossain, councillor of ward no 6, filed the case with Madhupur Police Station on the same night, accusing Shahid and his men of firing bullets on his house during the skirmish.
Police took Shahid to the police station from his house around 3:00am and released him after interrogation at 9:00am yester-
day, said police.
However, police called him to the police station and arrested him two and a half hours later.
The clash broke out when the BNP men intercepted the law enforcers who were taking Shahid to court, said police.
Over 15 people were detained in connection with the clash, said Hayatul Islam, additional superintendent of police in Tangail.
