A case has been filed against about 400 unidentified people over the clash between Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Dhaka University (DU) campus on Tuesday morning which left over 50 person of JCD injured.
Dhaka University administration filed the case with the Shahbagh Police Station. DU Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani confirmed the news to The New Nation on Wednesday.
“Some people tried to enter into the campus with rods, stamps, wooden and bamboo sticks by the road in front of Carzon Hall. We have given some clues to the law enforcers to identify the intruders.” he said.
DU Proctor said, “The case filed for damaging two buses, attempt to
thwart the peaceful election of DU Senate polls, hitting on-duty doorman of Carzon Hall, trying to make the campus environment restless and damaging the university resources.”
However, JCD has announced fresh protest programmes in all educational institutions across the country on May 26 protesting the attack.
Meanwhile, different hall units of BCL took positions at several points of the campus including Modhur Canteen and TSC since morning so that Chhatra Dal could not get access to the campus even yesterday.

Witnesses say, around 9.30 am, leaders and activists of JCD were going towards Dhaka University. At that time, some BCL men of Salimullah Muslim Hall unit, Jagannath Hall unit and Sergeant Zahurul Hoque Hall unit swooped on them with rods, stamps, wooden and bamboo sticks.
Meanwhile, DU Pro BNP-Jamaat Teachers’ Association, Bangladesh Chhatra Federation and Bangladesh Chhatra Union condemned the attack and demanded exemplary punishment of the attackers.
