One man was killed in clashes between police and jute-mill workers in the port-city of Chittagong on Thursday, over delayed payment of wages.
Police fired teargas and rubber bullets to disperse about 400 workers who went on a rampage at the state-run jute firm.
Officials at the mill were not available for comment.
"One man died of beating while 30 others were brought here with various injuries including rubber bullet wounds," said a doctor.
