At least ten people, including two police officers, were injured in clashes between two factions within the Chittagong University (CU) unit of the ruling party student front, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Friday.
The latest clashes took place this afternoon in front of the university’s Shahjalal and Shah Amanat halls.
It`s a continuation of the same clash that started on Wednesday, over the trivial matter of sitting at a tea stall.
Contacted, Shimul Biswas, former vice-president of Chittagong University BCL, said "The clashes started on Wednesday and then escalated between two hall-based groups. Both sides are blaming each other.”
The university`s Proctor Nurul Azim Sikder said police officers were deployed between the two dormitories, and added action will be taken after investigating the incident.
Apart from the 10 today, earlier at least 15 BCL leaders and activists were injured over the first two days.
