Leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal and

night (14 June).
According to local sources, supporters
of the Awami League held the procession from the cattle market area in
Tepakhola of Faridpur town at around 8:45pm.

BNP, chased the participants, forcing them to flee.
Kotwali Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Mahmudul Hasan said, "We went
to the spot after receiving information, but found no one there.
"However, police operations are
underway to identify and detain those involved."
