At least six people were injured in a clash between Chhatra League (BCL) activists and indigenous boys at Travel Adam in the town yesterday. The injured are Bodhi Chama, Kajol Dev, Mizan, Sohel, Sohag and Maruf. Bodhi Chakma is undergoing treatment at Rangamati General Hospital with serious injuries. The brawl followed teasing of indigenous boy Bodhi Chakma by Mizan, an activist of BCL, witnesses said. Bodhi attacked Mizan yesterday as he teased him during a soccer match recently at Rajbai Stadium leading to a severe clash between BCL men and indigenous youngsters of Travel Adam. Later, an emergency meeting was held at the deputy commissioner's office to take steps to restore law and order in the area. An all-party committee was formed to probe the incident.
