Sporadic violence and irregularities at a number of voting centres marked the third phase of upazila parishad elections yesterday amid a low voter turnout.
Police last night filed a case against 40 to 50 unidentified assailants with Rangamati's Baghaichhari Police Station in connection with Monday's killings.
Voters are apparently showing little interest in the ongoing upazila elections, which has seen less than 15 percent voter turnout in at least four upazilas.
A mobile court fines seven people for allegedly attempting to cast fake votes at a voting centre in Companyganj upazila of Sylhet during the second phase election to 116 upazila parishad.
Similar to the first phase, the second phase of upazila parishad elections being held today is reportedly witnessing low attendance of voters.
