A group of local goons beat up three BNP workers at village Chharaitkandi under Sonagazi upazila Tuesday night. They are now being treated at Feni and Sonagazi hospitals. Locals said, Alamgir Hossain, a BNP worker was talking with others at Hashem's shop near Monagazi madrasa. A group of 15 to 20 goons including Alam, Harun, Shahed and Rubel entered the shop and attacked Alamgir. They beat him up in front of other people. Locals rushed him to Sonagazi Upazila Health Complex. Later the same gang allegedly backed by local Awami League (AL) men beat up BNP workers Manik, 32, and Mintu, 35, in the same manner near Bhola Mia's shop leaving them seriously injured. The injured alleged that the criminals looted mobile sets and cash from them. Locals admitted the two in local clinics. As their condition deteriorated they were shifted to Feni Sadar Hospital at night.
