Ten students were injured as they clashed with outsiders at a college in Bagharpara upazila yesterday.

Students of the school went to the principal to submit their written statement containing their views on the teacher and allegation against two members of the school's governing body.
The clash broke out when supporters of Billal, a supporter of the school's governing body and also Raipur union Awami League unit general secretary, equipped with lethal weapons, swooped on the students, leaving 10 of them injured.
