He alleged that they came under attack while returning after filing a complaint with the police station.
Jamaat leaders blamed local activists of Jubo League, Jubo Dal, and Chhatra Dal for the attacks.
According to sources familiar with the incident, Jamaat-e-Islami worker Samir Hossain had been involved in a long-standing dispute with some Jubo League activists over various issues. Against this backdrop, he was allegedly assaulted at around 5 p.m. on Sunday in front of Hatpukuria School.
In the attack, Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir activists Samir Hossain, Robiul Hossain, 34, Shahin Alam, 26, Md. Sujon, 30, and Ripat Islam, 23, were injured.
When leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir protested the incident, an argument broke out between them and activists of Jubo League, Jubo Dal, and Chhatra Dal.
Mohiuddin Hasan, amir of the upazila Jamaat-e-Islami, alleged that Samir was beaten in the first incident under the leadership of local Jubo League activists Md. Sohag and Hachhan Patwari. Later, they went to the police station with other party activists to file a complaint.
He said that while returning from the police station at around 9:00 PM they were attacked again in front of the police station by Jubo League activists. Some activists of Jubo Dal and Chhatra Dal were also seen among the attackers.
