A local was killed and another injured when the members of joint forces opened fire after being attacked by blockaders in Satkhira Sadar upazila this morning.
The attack was made amid joint forces' drives in the violence-riddled district for several days following the recent spate of mayhem centering hartals and blockades.
Deceased Hafizul Islam, 20, who hailed from Gobindakati village in the upazila, was an activist of Islami Chhatra Shibir, claimed Md Nasiruddin, an inspector (investigation) of Sadar Police Station.
Locals refuted the law enforcers' claim saying that the deceased was a rickshaw-van puller.
Bullet-wounded cycle mechanic Haran Pal, a resident of Gobindapur, was undergoing treatment at Satkhira Sadar Hospital.
The activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing, Shibir, swooped on the joint forces comprising police and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel around 8:45am when they were removing barricades from a road in Jhaudanga Bazar area, the police official said.
The Jamaat-Shibir men put the barricades around 7:00am to halt the transport movement.
As the law enforcers went to the spot and tried to remove the blockade, the Shibir men hurled brick chips at them, prompting the firing, the inspector said.
Pal was about to start daily work at his mechanic shop in the bazar area while the incident took place.
