NARAYANGANJ, Jan 28 (UNB): A violent clash erupted between Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Swechchhashebak Dal, the BNP's student and volunteer fronts over a warehouse, leaving at least 20 people injured, including two with gunshot wounds, in the Saoghat area of Golakandail union in Rupganj on Tuesday.

The clash saw vandalism and arson, with a jeep and 10 motorcycles set on fire.

According to eyewitnesses and locals, the dispute arose over a warehouse at Bismillah Arat on land adjacent to the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway. Businessman Mojibur Rahman claimed he had rented the land from Selim Pradhan, chairman of Japan-Bangladesh Group, for 10 years under a contract.

Mojibur alleged that Selim was trying to evict him using force. On the other hand, Selim accused Mojibur of fabricating the contract and occupying the land illegally.
