At least 10 individuals, including BNP's executive committee member Tabith Awal, were injured in an apparent attack by ruling party activists on an opposition programme in the capital's Banani on Saturday evening, reports UNB.
"Tabith has been admitted to United Hospital for treatment with a head injury," said Nazmul Huda, his personal secretary.
Sayrul Kabir Khan, a BNP media cell member, said leaders and activists of BNP's Dhaka North City unit were holding a candlelight vigil around 7:45pm on Kamal Ataturk Avenue, the main thoroughfare in Banani.
A similar, concurrent vigil was organised by the party's South City unit in front of its Nayapaltan central office.
