A man was killed and 10 others were injured in a clash between two groups of villagers over asserting dominance in Kushtia on Saturday.
The incident took place at Bhabanipur village in Sadar upazila at around 10am.
The deceased, identified as Farid Hossain, 45, was the resident of Bhabanipur village, said Kushtia Model police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kamruzzaman Talukdar.
OC Kamruzzaman said there had been an enmity between the Liakati Ali Badsha-Reza Mandal group and Rashidul-Labushkati group over establishing supremacy.
As a sequel to the enmity, the supporters of Rashidul-Labushkati swooped on the house of Reza Mandal and vandalized valuables.
At one stage, the supporters of both groups attacked each other, triggering a clash that left 11 people, including Farid, injured. Farid died while being taken to the hospital.
“The situation is currently under control and additional police personnel have been deployed in the village,” the police official added.
