A Jamaat-e-Islami activist injured in a clash with BNP over the election of a school management committee president in Mirpur, Kushtia, has passed away.
Khokon Molla, 35, succumbed to his injuries on Monday at 3pm while undergoing treatment at Ibn Sina Hospital in Dhaka.
The clash occurred on Sunday at 5pm at the Burapara Miton Secondary School grounds in the Amla union of Mirpur upazila.
At least 25 individuals from both sides were injured in the incident.
Mirpur upazila Jamaat Secretary Sheikh Mohiuddin Ahmed confirmed Khokon's death.
The deceased, Khokon Molla, was the son of Nausher Ali Molla from Burapara village in Amla Union.
According to Sheikh Mohiuddin Ahmed, Khokon was admitted to Kushtia General Hospital following the clash.
Due to a deterioration in his condition, he was transferred to Dhaka for advanced treatment early in the morning, where he later passed away in the afternoon.
The clash stemmed from tensions surrounding the election for the position of school management committee president at Burapara Miton Secondary School in Mirpur.
Jamaat activists claimed that local BNP leader Nasir pressured Jamaat leader Mukul to withdraw his candidacy.
The dispute escalated when Nasir allegedly threatened Mukul on Saturday night.
In protest, Jamaat-e-Islami organized a meeting at the school grounds on Sunday afternoon.
During the gathering, Nasir and his supporters allegedly attacked with sticks and local weapons, leading to the clash.
