Police in Dhaka manage transition of Kakrail Mosque between feuding Tablighi Jamaat factions to prevent clashes.

Police have been deployed in Dhaka to prevent clashes as two factions of Tablighi Jamaat, a religious group, transition control of the Kakrail Mosque. The group led by Mohammed Zubair will hand over the mosque to followers of Maulana Saad Kandhalvi, an Indian preacher, to avoid conflict. This transition comes amid an ongoing internal dispute within Tablighi Jamaat, which began in 2019 and has caused separate arrangements for their major religious gatherings since 2022.
