Four people, including a man and his son, were killed and 15 others wounded in a clash between activists of the ruling Awami League and its ally Jatiya Party (JP) in Dohar sub district, reports said.
Two of the injured were sent to Dhaka in a critical condition.
JP candidate Salma Islam, who was recently inducted in the cabinet as a junior minister, defeated Abdul Mannan Khan who was the state minister for works.

Twenty-one people were killed in poll-related violence yesterday.
