Activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) locked into a clash on Dhaka University campus this morning.
JCD activists claimed that BCL men attacked them when they were holding a scheduled programme. BCL activists denied the allegation.
Rakibul Islam Rakib, convener of JCD's DU unit, told The Daily Star that they brought out a procession from Central Shaheed Minar around 10:00am, protesting the arrests of organising secretary of JCD central committee Saif Mahmud Jewel and assistant organising secretary Moshiur Rahman Rony.
BCL men attacked the procession when it reached near TSC, Rakib claimed, adding that at least 15 JCD activists were injured in the attack.
Among the injured, two were undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital while the rest at other hospitals.
Saddam Hossain, general secretary of BCL's DU chapter, said Chhatra League activists are now busy with humanitarian activities during the pandemic and they have no involvement with the incident.
