One killed as AL men clash

Locals say 2 Jubo League groups fought over control of footpath in Mirpur

Staff Correspondent
A man was killed and at least two others were injured in a clash between two groups of "Jubo League men" allegedly over controlling collection of extortion money from footpath vendors in the city's Mirpur area yesterday.
The dead has been identified as Roman, 32.
Police and locals said two Jubo League groups, each having eight to 10 members, sat in a meeting at a makeshift election camp of an Awami League MP candidate at Block-B of Mirpur-6 around 2:15pm to decide who would collect extortion money from which portion of footpaths in Mirpur-10 area.
At one stage, the two groups attacked each other with sharp weapons, said a police official, wishing not to be named.
During the clash, Roman and two others named Al Amin and Saiful sustained stab injuries.
Police later reached the spot and found Roman lying dead on the spot. They seized four motorbikes from outside the election camp.
Locals sent Al Amin and Saiful to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation.
A group of five to six youths stabbed Al Amin near the kitchen market at Block-B of Mirpur-6 and fled the scene, a witness told The Daily Star on condition of anonymity.
Al Amin, a resident of Mirpur's Rupnagar, used to sell engine oil on a
footpath in Mirpur-10 area, said the witness who is acquainted with the injured.
Police said there were injury marks on Roman's body which was sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College morgue for an autopsy.
Syed Mamun Mostafa, assistant commissioner (Mirpur zone) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, said they were investigating the incident and trying to arrest the attackers.
Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, president of Dhaka city (North) Jubo League, told this newspaper that none of those involved in the clash held any post of the organisation.
"All of them are criminals. I talked with the OC of the local police station and asked him to take action against them," he added.
About taking control of footpaths in Mirpur by Jubo League men, Mainul said he didn't know about any such incident
