A private university student was killed and nine people were injured during a gunfight between two Chhatra League factions of the SUST over establishing supremacy on the campus on November 20.
Students who witnessed the gunfight said followers of SUST BCL unit president, who had remained absent from the campus for quite a long time, entered the university around 10:30am. They vandalised the library, academic building, and the Shah Paran Hall. The clash erupted as students loyal to Vice-President Anjan Roy arrived at the scene. Both factions opened fire on each other and exploded handmade bombs leaving at least 20 injured.
