On July 31, an activist of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-affiliated Swechasebak Dal, Abdur Rahim, 28, was shot dead and scores injured as police and opposition activists clashed in Bhola Sadar.
The incident happened when police barred the BNP activists from holding a procession protesting the corruption and mismanagement in the energy sector and ongoing power cuts.
BNP Bhola district unit organised the procession as part of a three-day programme announced by the party’s central body.
