Chhatra Dal and BCL clash near High Court

Chhatra Dal members were attacked by the Chhatra League members while they were conducting a procession from near the High Court today Thursday (May 26).

Previously on Tuesday, more than 35 people were injured in clashes between Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) activists in the Central Shaheed Minar area of Dhaka University.

According to witnesses, rallying JCD members were heading towards the Dhaka University TSC area around 9:30am when some BCL activists attacked them near the Shaheed Minar, resulting in a chase, a counter-chase, and throwing of brick chips between the two groups before they dispersed near campus.

Police arrested three persons over the clash. Two were JCD activists and one was a bystander.

"As none of the parties [who took part in the clash] have lodged any complaint, filing a case in the matter is uncertain," said Maudut Hawlader, officer-in charge of Shahbagh police station.

BNP leaders like Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee visited the injured JCD activists at DMCH Tuesday afternoon.
