At least 10 people were injured in a clash between two groups of people over an unpaid tea bill in Shailkupa municipality of Jhenaidah on Friday morning.
The injured include Nayeb Ali, son of Kamal Sheikh; Ripon Hossain, son of Murad Ali; Rubel Hossain, son of Jamal Uddin; Tamal Hossain, son of Abdur Rahim; Abdur Razzak, son of Abul Hossain; and Ripon Hossain. They were admitted to Shailkupa Upazila Health Complex.
Officer-in-Charge of Shailkupa Police Station Humayun Kabir Mollah said Ripon Hossain went to a tea stall owned by Shahjahan in the Khaldharpara area of the municipality in the morning.
When the shopkeeper refused to serve him tea on credit due to previous unpaid dues, an argument broke out between them, which later turned into a scuffle, he said.
The OC said locals from both sides later joined the altercation with locally made weapons, triggering a clash that left at least 10 people injured.
