Police-Jamaat clashes in Bogra

Update : 03 Aug 2013, 08:11 AM

Clashes broke out between Jamaat-Shibir activists and police forces in Bogra district town's Shaat Rasta intersection on Saturday morning, with crude bombs exploding and rubber bullets being shot.

Witnesses said that the clashes took place when law enforcers tried to foil a procession by Jamaat-Shibir men, protesting the recent High Court verdict declaring illegal Jamaat's registration as a political party. The agitated activists hurled brick chips and 5-6 crude bombs at police, who retaliated with 12 rounds of rubber bullet.

Assistant Commissioner of Bogra Police Gaziur Rahman said no law enforcer was hurt during the clashes, while it was uncertain whether any Jamaat activist was injured, as they scattered quickly after the clashes began.
