According to locals, the clash broke out between followers of former BNP municipality unit convener Didarul Alam Miazi at the Traffic Point area on Wednesday evening, leaving several people injured.
Tahmid was initially taken to Baraiyarhat General Hospital and later transferred to Chittagong Medical College Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
