BNP leaders and activists clashed with Jubo League leaders and activists over the control of fake business in a garment factory in Ashulia, Savar, Dhaka. Joint forces arrested three people in this incident.

According to some local residents and Ashulia Thana-Police sources, when the Awami League government was in power, Ashulia Thana Jubo League convenor Kabir Hossain Sarkar and his leaders and workers used to control the Jhoot business at The Rose Dresses Limited factory in Jamgra area of ​​Ashulia. After the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, Kabir Hossain’s people controlled the business with the support of a party of the local BNP. Around nine o’clock yesterday morning, Ashulia Thana BNP Publicity Secretary Anwar Hossain, Dhaka District Chhatra Dal former Vice President Mostafizur Rahman along with some BNP leaders and workers went to take control of the Jhoot business in front of the factory. At that time, Kabir Hossain’s people arrived there with firearms and domestic sharp weapons. Later, there was a back and forth between the two sides. In this incident, the joint forces arrested three people.

BNP leader Anwar Hossain said, ‘Kabir Hossain used to control the fraud business of that garment factory before August 5. More than 25 cases of killing students have been registered against him.
