According to local sources, the rift between Kabir Mallick of Senhati village and his rival Dolowar member of the same village had been raging for a long time. Kabir Mallick's elder brother Mohammad Mallick led him as he was in jail.

Due to this dispute, a meeting was held with the party on Thursday night, June 15, at the house of local village Matubbar Fagu Matubbar, a supporter of Delwar. Upon receiving the news, the police went to the spot and arrested a man named Fagu Matubbar and Farid. The next day, on Thursday, Fagu Matubbar was released on bail. Abdul Matubbar Gangra, a supporter of Kabir Mallick, beat up Afshar, son of Wazed of Gobindpur village, a supporter of Delwar member, when the two sides met at Gourdia Bazaar in the evening. The area remained tense throughout the night but no clashes were reported due to police patrols. On Friday morning, supporters of the Delwar member launched a surprise attack on Kabir's supporters.

Fifteen people were injured, and 20 homes were vandalized and looted, leaving Delwar supporters dead.
