A clash broke out between students of Dhaka College and City College in the capital's Science Lab area on Wednesday.
The conflict began around 2:45 pm, leading to the suspension of traffic in the area. As a result, the surrounding roads experienced severe congestion.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (New Market Zone) Shah Mostafa Tariquzzaman said the clash between Dhaka College and City College students in the Science Lab area originated from an incident on Tuesday.
According to him, the altercation began when some Dhaka College students boarded a bus near the Science Lab, leading to a scuffle with a few City College students. In retaliation, Dhaka College students vandalized parts of City College on Wednesday morning.
The situation escalated around 2:45 pm when City College students took to the streets and advanced toward the Science Lab area. Dhaka College students then positioned themselves nearby. The two groups began hurling bricks and stones at each other during the confrontation.
The clash between the two groups has left several injured, according to eyewitnesses.
