Salahuddin Mia, chief of Paltan Police Station, said he heard that the clashes broke out between two groups near Golap Shah Mazar when the Awami League activists were returning home from their rally outside Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Friday afternoon.
Md Alauddin, resident physician at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, said five people were
brought to the facility with knife wounds. One of them was dead and the four others were being treated, he said.
The dead person, presumed to be in his mid-20s, could not be identified immediately.
