According to police and local sources, the conflict stemmed from an ongoing dispute over embankment construction work by the Water Development Board near Nur Uddin Bazar.
The dispute involved supporters of former Bhola-4 MP Nazim Uddin Alam and Juba Dal's central general secretary Nurul Islam Noyon.
The altercation escalated into a violent clash, leaving several people, including Rashed, injured.
The injured were initially taken to Monpura Upazila Health Complex. Some were later transferred to Charfashion Upazila Health Complex.
Due to the severity of his injuries, Rashed was referred to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital in Barishal and subsequently to Dhaka. He died en route near Faridpur last night.
OC Ahsan Kabir added, "Rashed, who was injured in the clash between two BNP factions, has died. His brother filed a written complaint last night, and further legal action will be taken after the investigation."
