On receiving the information, the Rajoir Police Station reached the spot and brought the situation under control. Later, when the people from Oli's side went to Jahangir Khan's house in West Rajoir village to resolve the matter, Badshah Mir, former general secretary of Rajoir Municipality BNP, was beaten up there. He was rescued and first taken to Rajoir Upazila Health Complex. From there, his condition deteriorated and he was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Another person was injured in the incident.
