A man was killed and his younger brother injured in an attack allegedly by his rivals over previous enmity at Kashiani upazila of Gopalganj on Tuesday.
The deceased was identified as Zihad Mollah, 42, son of Lokman Mollah while the injured is Sujon Mollah, 24, reports UNB.
There was an enmity between Shwakat Mollah and Kabir Mollah over establishing supremacy in the locality, said AKM Alinur Hossain, officer-in-charge of Kashiani Police Station.
Recently, the supporters of both the groups locked into a clash over the issue and five houses were vandalised during the clash.
