Shahjahan Khan had earlier field a case against the two sons of the municipal chairman.

Yesterday, the BNP faction led by the municipal chairman brought out a procession in the upazila headquarter protesting the "false case".

The clash ensued when the rival group swooped on the procession with sticks and sharp weapons as it reached the Sadar Road.

Police charged batons and dispersed the clashing groups.
