Over 400 activists of BNP and its affiliated outfits have been sued in connection with a clash during a rally organised to mark the party’s 44th foundation day.

An FIR was lodged at Faridpur Kotwali police station on Monday on a complaint from sub-inspector Masud Fakir, said Suman Ranjan Sarkar, additional superintendent of police (Sadar circle).
