At least 30 people, including five with bullets, were injured in a clash between Jamaat-Shibir men and police in front of Lokonath School in the city on Saturday. Abdus Sobhan, sub-inspector of Boalia Police Station, said a group of Jamaat-Shibir men brought out a procession around 8:30 am as part of their protest against the Supreme Court verdict commuting Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee’s death penalty to jail unto death and demanding the review of Sayedee’s punishment in the war crimes case.

Police fired 10 rounds of robber bullet to disperse them. Thirty people were injured during the clash while five received bullet wounds. The bullet-hit were rushed to a local clinic. –UNB, Dhaka.
