Three persons including a woman were injured severely in a clash over capture of a shrimp enclosure by BNP cadres at Banishanta in Dekop upazila on Thursday.

The injured are Shefali Begum,35, Alamgir Hossain,34, and Kayum Bhuiyan,25. They were admitted to Dekop Upazila Health Complex.

The shrimp enclosure is owned by an Awami League (AL) activist named Kamrul Islam.

Police said a ruling BNP MP's nephew sent the armed cadres led by Boing Molla, younger brother of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) ward commissioner Amanullah.

He complained that he had received death threats by the occupants. Police did not visit the spot, he alleged.
