Hathazari, Chattogram – At least 120 people were injured in a violent clash that erupted last night between students of Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam Hathazari Madrasa and supporters of Jashne Julus in Hathazari upazila, Chattogram, over a controversial Facebook post. The incident, which began around 8:00 PM near the Hathazari bus stand, continued intermittently until midnight, resulting in the vandalism of several passenger buses.
According to Chattogram Range DIG Ahsan Habib Palash, the clash was triggered by an offensive Facebook post about the madrasa, which led to escalating tensions as large groups from both sides joined the fray. "The individual responsible for posting the abusive photo about the Darul Ulum madrasa was arrested by Fatikchhari police prior to the clashes," he told The Daily Star.
